VELLARIKKAYUM MANGAYUM KOOTTAAN / CUCUMBER MANGO CURRY WITH COCONUT GRAVY

Vellarikkayum Mangayum koottan is a traditional Kerala recipe. My mom seldom makes this when fish is not available. But nowadays I had forgotten this curry. I got this recipe from a recipe group and I tried this and like its taste. I felt the nostalgic taste and so I am sharing this with my friends. Cucumber, mango and drumstick are used to prepare this vegetable curry. All these vegetables are good to health and easily available.


CUCUMBER MANGO CURRY


INGREDIENTS


Cucumber - 200g
Raw mango -1
Drumstick -1
Coconut (grated) - 1/2 cup
Green chilli - 4 (slit into two)
Turmeric powder - 1/4 teaspoon
Cumin seeds - 1/4 teaspoon
Fenugreek seed - 1 pinch
Mustard seeds - 1 teaspoon
Dried chilli -2
Curry leaves - 2 springs
Cooking oil - 1 teaspoon
Salt - to taste


METHOD


  Remove the skin and seeds of the cucumber and cut it into squire shape pieces. Cut mango into small pieces with skin. Cut drumsticks into 2 inch pieces. Cook these vegetables with turmeric powder, salt and some water.

   Grind grated coconut with cumin seeds and green chillies to make a smooth paste. Add this paste to the cooked vegetable and stir well. Add salt and combine well. Boil the curry and allow it to get little thick and turn off the flame.

   Pour some oil in a hot pan and splutter mustard seeds, fenugreek seeds and dried chilli. Add curry leaves and pour it to the curry and mix well. Traditional vellarikkayum mangayum curry is ready. Enjoy it with hot rice and kovakka mezhukku puratti.
