More kulambu by Selvi

Here is my mom's version of morekulambu
Morekulambu:
------------

Vegetables preferred: (white and green pumkin/ yam(chenaikilangu)/drumstick/ladys finger, chepankilangu/Valakkai/Nenthirangai)
except ladys finger if we r choosing other vegetables we have to cook it with little salt and turmeric powder. ladysfinger means shallow fry in oil, and use in the curry.
In the above mentioned any one vegetables we can use.

Vegetables any one of the above - 1/4 kg

Grind coarsely:
--------------
green chilly - 3 medium size
red chilly - 1
ginger - 1/2"
cumin seeds - 1/2 tsp
Coconut grated - 3 tblsp
(toor dhal - 1 1/2 tblsp, raw rice - 1 1/2 tsp soak this two for 1 hour)
grind all the above ingredients coarsely.
Seasoning:
----------
Coconut oil - 1 1/2 tsp
kadukku - 1 tsp
urad dhal - 1/2 tsp
methi seeds (venthayam) - 1/4 tsp
red chilly - 1
karu vadagam- 2 pinch
small onions - 5 (chopped finely)
curry leaves - few


now transfer this in the cooked vegetable, add little water and cook for 5 minutes. In a separate pan now do the seasoning , add oil, then kadukku, urad dhal, methi seeds, karu vadagam, once kadukku splutters then add the onions fry nicely till it turns brown colour, then add curry leaves. Transfer this in coconut -veg mixture, allow it to boil for 2-3 minutes. Then switch of the fire. Now beat the curd nicely in the mixer, so that it looks like laban now, otherwise u can use readymade laban. Add this to the curry according to our wish. Dilute the curry according to our consistency. Be sure, donot use sour curd. No need to boil once u add curd/laban. If needed u can garnish with coriander leaves.
