Pulikkari

Its been long I have been thinking to make this dish. One of my favourite side dishes for Ghee Rice, Biriyani etc. I usally eat it when I go to my native place in Azhakiyamandapam.


Yesterday I got the recipe from mom and tried it out. It was ok, but it was little much of puli, so got the idea that mango was little extra, so have given the recipe with the amount of mango reduced.

Ingredients

-> Raw Mango - 1 small
-> Curry Cucumber - Proportional to the amount of the mango.
-> Coriander seeds -  1tbsp
-> Fennel Seeds -  1 tbsp
-> Kashmiri  Dry Red Chilli - 2-3
-> Fenugeek - 1/2 tsp
-> Mustard Seeds - 1/2 tsp
-> Small Jeera - 1/2 Tsp
-> Ginger Garlic Green chilli paste - 1tbsp
-> green chilli - 1
-> Mustard Seeds -( for garnish)- 1/2 tsp
-> Curry Leaves
-> Oil

Method
1) Dry Roast Coriander seeds, fennel seeds and the dry red chillies.Powder it.  Keep aside
2) Boil the raw mango (diced) and cucumber ( diced) along with 1 green chilli and salt.
3) Heat oil in a pan. Add the mustard seeds (for garnish), curry leaves and 1 dry red chilli. Allow the mustard seeds to splutter and then add the curry leaves and red chilli.
4) Add the ginger-Garlic- green chilli paste. Saute.
