This is how exactly we prepare the Chicken Kulambu in Kongunadu. We don’t normally eat Non-Veg during the month of Puratasi. So we make substitues for chicken during that period. This recipe is a substitute of Chicken Curry Kulambu. Cabbage can also be replaced with Mushroom or Potato. Home made Curry Masala is the plus here, it gives the extra flavor and also a unique taste.
Coriander Leaves / Kothamalli Thalai
Kadalai Maavu Bonda / Gram Flour Bonda / Chickpea Fritters
This is also known as chickpea flour bonds from kongunadu / south india. This is a best evening snack. My mom used to make this when raining. We used to make this for small functions at our places or for any local festivals.
If you are so health conscious squeeze the excess oil by keeping the fritter in the middle of the tissue and press it in the palm. Instead of green chili, red chili powder can also be used.
Paruppu Rasam / Toor Dhal Rasam
Rasam is a kind of tamarind dhal soup we take along with white rice for lunch meal. It’s almost prepared every day and mostly prepared in south Indian homes. Rasam rice can be accompanied with pappad or some vegetable fry.
Tomato Pulao / Tomato Pulav
Making Tomato Pulav requires less work. When you have no vegetables at home to make veg biriyani, this is a nice alternative.
I always have frozen green peas handy, so it is easy for me to cook this anytime.
Hotel Vegetable Korma / Tamilnadu Veg Kurma ( Mixed Vegetables )
Korma tastes similar to the one they serve in the restaurants. This can be accompanied with chapathi or any kind of roti. Vegetables of your choice can be added.
Potato Kurma for Idli / Urulai Kizhangu Kuzhambu
Potato Kulambu in Kongunadu Style which is commonly prepared for Idili and dosa.
Raw Mango Rice / Mangai Sadam
Mango rice preparations is much similar to the lemon rice but will be with mango’s sour taste added coz of raw mango prepared in tamilnadu style. My friend advised me not to make any dishes with onions on Varalakshimi Nonbu and I decided to make this. So this rice don’t have onions, but if needed they can be added.
