Mullai January 5, 2008 4468 2 Comments

We, in our family circle have this flair for combining vegetables with non-veggies and get to taste something unusual atleast once a week. In one way, it was good, as we consumed the dish just for the smell and taste without even caring about the veggie. Here's one such interesting combination… Kovakkai cooked with shrimp and loads of freshly ground black pepper. (Kovakkai ~ Ivy gourd, Milagu ~ Black pepper, Eral ~ Prawns/Shrimp)

Ivy Gourd ~ English

Kovakkai ~ Tamil

Kundru ~ Hindi

Dondakaya ~ Telugu

Combination of onion, tomato, coconut and pottukalai makes this scrumptious chutney. The consistency of this dish looks inbetween sambar and chutney so we at home sometimes.. call it Pottukadalai Sambar.

Coconut Chutney can be made in numerous ways, this is the simplest version. The colour of the chutney changes depending on the ingredients used. With Split roasted gram / Dalai / Pottukadalai playing a dominent role for this variety, makes it look pale white. Mostly this variety is served with Bondas and Bhajis.
