Thazhuthama is a medicinal plant which helps to prevent the diseases of liver, kidney and lungs and used as a leafy vegetable filled with vitamins. It is known as Punarnava in sanskrit. Today I am presenting a side dish for rice or chapathi with thazhuthama and green gram and of course it is a healthy dish and easy to prepare.
INGREDIENTS
Thazhuthama / Hog weed - chopped - 1 cup
Green Gram - 1 cup
Coconut (Grated) - 1 cup
Garlic - 2 clove
Cumin seeds - 1 pinch
Turmeric powder - 1/4 teaspoon
Coconut oil - 1/2 teaspoon
Curry leaves - 2 springs
Salt - to taste
METHOD
Put green gram in a hot pan and fry for 5 minutes in low flame. Stir continuously. Turn off the flame and allow it to cool. Crush green gram in a mixer and wash well. Pressure cook green gram with turmeric powder, salt and enough water. Clean the stem and leaves of thazhuthama and chop well. Add this to well cooked green gram and cook for 5 minutes more. Stir with a laddle to mix the leaves and green gram well. Grind grated coconut, garlic and cumin seeds to make a smooth paste and add it to the curry. Add curry leaves and heat the curry for 2 minutes in low flame. Don't allow it to boil. Turn off the flame and pour coconut oil over it and stir well. Thazhuthama Parippu Curry is ready to serve.
