PULINCHIKKA OZHICHU CURRY / IRUMPAN PULI CURRY / BILIMBI CURRY

Good Morning Friends... Have a healthy day!

Yesterday I got some bilimbi  (pulinchikka) from market and I made bilimbi pickle. I have heard that bilimbi is good for making rasam and ozhichu curry. So I tried this recipe today which I got early from a facebook post and my family members and friends like its taste. So I am sharing this with you. It is very easy to prepare

BILIMBI CURRY

INGREDIENTS


Bilimbi - 10 (cut it into small pieces)
Coconut (grated) - 1 cup ( first consistency milk, second consistency milk)
Turmeric Powder - 1/4 teaspoon
Chilli powder - 1/4 teaspoon
Dried chilli - 2 + 1
Rice - 1 teaspoon
Fennel seeds - 1/4 teaspoon
Mustard seeds - 1/2 teaspoon
Cooking oil - 1 teaspoon
Curry leaves - 2 springs
Salt - to taste


METHOD

   Roast rice, fennel seeds and 2 dried chillies in a pan. Grind it to make a smooth paste. Take bilimbi pieces in a clay pot ( manchatti). Add second consistency milk, turmeric powder, chilli powder, rice paste and salt to the clay pan. Cook well until the whole water evaporated from the bilimbi mix. Then add the first consistency milk and heat for some time. Don't allow it to boil. Turn off the flame.

   Now splutter the mustard seeds, dried chilli and curry leaves in hot coconut oil and pour it over the curry and cover it with a lid for 10 minutes, Bilimbi ozhichu curry is ready. Have it with meals.

NB: We can use ground coconut paste instead of coconut milk. Then cook bilimbi in water instead of coconut milk. Add coconut paste  with water instead of first consistency milk.
