How to make Yeruvalli Kuzhambu Recipe (Tangy Coconut Curry with Vegetables)
To begin making the Yeruvalli Kuzhambu Recipe, we will cook the vegetables along with the tamarind water in the pressure cooker. Place the diced vegetables, the tamarind water and salt into the pressure cooker. Place the weight on and pressure cook until you heat 2 to 3 whistles. Turn off the heat and allow the pressure to release naturally.
While the pressure is getting released, we will make the curry paste for the Yeruvalli Kuzhambu.
In a small pan; add in the fenugreek seeds, urad dal and red chillies. Roast them until you notice the ingredients turning lightly brown and releases a roasted aroma.
Add the roasted ingredients into a small blender jar, add the coconut and just a little warm water. Blend to make a smooth curry paste.
At this stage, open the pressure cooker and add the curry paste into the kuzhambu. Stir well to combine. Check the salt levels and adjust to suit your taste. Place the pressure cooker on medium high heat and simmer the Yeruvalli Kuzhambu while we prepare the seasoning.
Heat oil in a pan; add mustard seeds and curry leaves and allow it to crackle. Once it crackles, turn off the heat and pour the seasoning into the simmering Yeruvalli Kuzhambu. Turn off the heat and transfer the kuzhambu to a serving bowl.
Serve the Yeruvalli Kuzhambu along with a hot steamed rice for lunch and a favorite vegetable.
