Alert: Please ignore this entry - this is purely for my 'saving-someplace-handy' purposes. I'm tired of saving notepad files and then forgetting where I saved them. I'm also tired of sending it as email to myself (how pathetic!) and then forgetting to which folder I moved it. I'm even more tired of taking printouts and losing it in the Mt.Everest-y pile of paper (read: crap) that I have on my desk.
This is a recipe that my mom gave me when hubbie had a severe bout of the oh-so-common cold. I'm going to try this out over the weekend, so till then I need the recipe to be available 'somewhere'!
So here goes...
Ingredients: To fry and powder finely Dried chilli - 3 Black pepper - 1 tbsp Urad dal - 1 tsp (Tamil - ulutham paruppu, Telugu - Uddi pappu, Mallu - no idea!)
Curry leaves - a handful (Tamil - karivepilai, Telugu - karivepaaku, Mallu - Karivepila) Salt - to taste Tamarind - a small ball (Tamil - puli, Telugu - chinthapandu, Mallu - puli)
How to? Powder the items-to-be-powdered. To this add the curry leaves, salt, tamarind and a bit of water - grind this to a smooth paste.
Take oil in a kadai, add mustard, turmeric and asafoetida. Add the ground paste to this and cook on low flame till the oil seperates and comes to the top. (Something like your 'pulikaichal' consistency - that paste thing you add for tamarind rice)
Done!
To be had with rice. If you're like me, you can have it with idli, dosa..anything!
I don't know how this will taste (I can guess it will be 'kaaram' looking at the first 2 ingredients). I can try it out and let you all know on Monday. Till then..you can try it at your own risk :-)
