Onam Pulissery Recipe

Ingredients

How to prepare Pulissery?

• Firstly take a vessel and pour 1 cup of water into it and allow it to boil. Then add the vellarika cubes into it with a pinch of salt. Close the lid and allow the Vellarika to cook well.


• Meanwhile grind the grated coconut, chilly powder, green chilies and cumin powder into a paste.


• Once the Vellarika is cooked, add turmeric powder and the paste into it. Reduce the flame and allow it to mix well.


• Take the yogurt and add 2 cups of water to it, stir well and make butter milk out of it. Now add the butter milk to the dish.


• Just heat it, never allow the dish to boil after adding butter milk as it will spoil the entire dish. I have seen grand moms dipping their finger to see whether the dish has become hot. If you feel so off the flame and keep it aside.


• Take another pan and pour oil into it, splutter the mustard seeds and add the sliced shallots into it. When the shallots turns into golden brown color, add the fenugreek powder, curry leaves and dried red chilies to it. Saute well and off the flame.


• Open the lid of the dish and pour this seasoning into it and close the lid again to lock the odor.


• Pulissery is now ready to be served along with rice. You can garnish it by placing a sprig of curry leaves on it.
