surakai porima

this is different dish, which is very easy to make.

this dish can be made with surakai or drumstick or green long brinjal. i am posting for surakai.

surakai porima:
---------------

boiled cooking rice - 3 tblsp dry fry in a heavy bottomed pan, fry this in a slow fire, so that the rice should fry nicely otherwise the taste is not good. fry like a poriarisi.

dry red chilly - 2
dry dhania - 1 1/2 tblsp
jeera - 1/2 tsp

all fry in a dry till nice smell comes out of it. now grind this with the fried rice like a coarse powder and keep aside.

surakai - 1/2 kg peeled and cut into cubes
small onion - 15
green chilly - 2
turmeric powder - 1/2 tsp
salt required

cook the vegetable with the above ingredients. when the vegetable is done, grind coconut - 4 tblsp coarsely and add this to the vegetable mixture. allow it to cook for 5 minutes, then add the ground powder little by little to the curry and stir otherwise lumps will form. It is not necessary to add all the powder, may be 3/4th of the ground is enough, we have to check the consistency of the curry and u can stop adding that powder. let it boil for another 5 minutes.

in the meanwhile, in a separate pan, add oil, kadukku, urad dhal, curry leaves and transfer this in the curry.

this is very good for steamed rice.
