Paruppu Usili Kari

Set 1:

Take 250 grams of Avaraikkai or Beans. Cut into pieces as you do for Kari.

Set 2:

1 cup (50ml) of Thuvaram paruppu, 1 cup of Kadali paruppu. Soak it in water. small slices of Perungayam(about 3 gms).

Set 3:

Kadugu, udaicha Ulundam paruppu.

Step 1:

Add a teaspoon of salt to vegetable. Cook the vegetable either in Microwave or in gas stove. It should be cooked until the vegetable is soft.

Step 2:

The soaked Paruppu in set 2 is poured into Mixie; add small slices of perungayam. add 1 spoon of salt. Now make it a paste. Cook this paste in Microwave(6 minutes) or in pressure cooker until it is evenly cooked. It should not be over cooked. Take out the cooked paruppu and make it into small pieces by slicing using karandi. If you still can't make it into pieces, pour the cooked paruppu into Mixie and grind it for few seconds.. [I tried this today, it worked very well.]

Step 3:

take vanali. Pour 1 teaspoon of kadalai/refined oil. pour 5 kadugu. allow it to explode. then add udaicha ulundam paruppu. Take it out and keep it in a plate.

Step 4:

Take Vanali. Pour 4 teaspoons of Kadalai/refined oil. after oil is heated, pour paruppu pieces (after step 2) and fry it for a few minutes. Now add kadugu, ulundam paruppu of step 3. mix it. After that add cooked vegetable. Mix it well. Allow it on the stove for about 3/4 minutes. Keep mixing.

Step 5:

Remove it from vanali and pour it in to another vessel.
