A quick, sweet and spicy sweet potato curry to go with rice as well as rotis.
6 ingredients at the most.
Kootu Variety 1: Poricha Kootu (Lentil and vegetable mixed gravy)
Kootu is a one pot meal, made with vegetables such as chayote squash, green beans, ash gourd, and one of the dals (toor or moong), mildly spiced, and eaten with rice. It is a healthy wholesome dish, providing carbs, protein, and vitamins all in one shot.
Puliyodarai Powder (Spice powder for tamarind rice)
This is a versatile spice powder made with coriander seeds, red chilies, sesame seeds, cumin and can be used as a finishing touch for tamarind rice. This powder has a shelf life of at least 2 weeks, and more if refrigerated. Use it as a final garnish on any dry curries that need a little spice and flavor.
Cranberry Rice
Tangy and spicy, this is a quick and satisfying substitute for the labor-intensive tamarind rice (puliyodarai/puliyogare). Brighten up your holiday table with this pretty dish!
Masala Peanuts (Baked)
Quick and easy, spicy peanuts are coated in chick pea flour flavored with chili powder and hing, and baked, instead of deep fried. A perfect pick me up, and a healthy snack for those afternoon cravings. Great with a cup of hot ginger chai!
