Usually it is a sweet thing. And if more members are present it will be only available to eat raw. This time that was not so sweet. So my cousin Usha decided to prepare this dish for lunch. It came out great 👍 It is not a common ingredient to cook. Only when a coconut palm is cut down we shall have this ingredient and cook.
Ingredients
Grated coconut 1 cup, turmeric powder 1/3 teaspoon, chilli powder 1/2 teaspoon, cumin powder 1/2 teaspoon, pepper corns 6, shallots 3, garlic cloves 2, both chopped. Grind these ingredients and keep aside.
Thengin manda grated 3 cups
Coconut oil 1 tablespoon, mustard seeds 1/3 teaspoon, urd dal splits 2 teaspoons, curry leaf a sprig and salt to taste
Heat the oil in a shallow pan, drop in urd dal splits and sauté till brown add mustard seeds followed by curry leaves and grated thengin manda. Combine well and allow to cook in medium flame. When cooked add the coconut mix, combine well and keep in low flame for two minutes.
It’s a unique and rare dish to have. We had it with lunch. Delicious 😋 Thank you Usha ❤️
