This is the gravy which helps you when you don’t have any
vegetables in your pantry. As Sruti is ill, it has been long since I visited
the market. So I was out of vegetables except for some onions and two small
coconuts given by a friend during one of his visits. For the third day of
Blogging Marathon #20 Week 1, I am posting under cooking with onions. With only
two ingredients at hand, I thought of preparing gravy with onions and coconut.
As I also intended to serve it along with rotis for dinner, I made it tamarind
free. This is a very easy recipe and can be cooked up within 30minutes with
very less amount of ingredients. As for the taste, it was very nice with rice
and it will surely go well with rotis too.
Ingredients:
Onion-3
Grated Fresh Coconut-1cup
Sambar Powder-2tsp
Turmeric Powder-1/4tsp
Salt-to taste
Mustard and Urad dhal-1tsp
Fennel Seeds-1tsp
Hing- a pinch
Oil-3tbs
Procedure:
- Heat
oil and add mustard, urad dhal, fennel and hing.
- When
they crackle, add the onions and sauté until light brown in colour. Saute
on low flame so that you get a nice sweetness from onions with out burning
them.
- Grind
coconut and sambar powder along with a little water to a smooth paste.
- Add
this paste to the onions and add turmeric powder and salt.
- Add
enough water to bring it to gravy consistency.
- When
it starts boiling, cover and cook on low flame for 10minutes.
- Serve
hot along with rice or rotis.
