My dish No. 402 - "Kulith kele Koddel" or Horse gram raw & raw banana in garlic seasoned coconut gravy - A Konkani curry

Here's yet another konkani delicacy that I make quite often, but somehow not had the time to blog it...
A very simple curry but very aromatic and delicious...perfectly goes with steaming white rice...


Serves 3
Ingredients :
Horse gram - 100 gms
Raw banana - 1 - cut into small cubes
Coconut - 1/2 grated or 1 cup coconut milk
Dry red chillies - 7
tamarind - 1 small piece

For seasoning :
Oil - 1tsp
Garlic - 8 cloves - crushed lightly along with skin
Method :

Boil the horse gram along with raw banana cubes and enough water in a pressure cooker for about 20 minutes till they are soft.
 Roast red chillies. Grind them along with coconut, tamarind and 1 cup water to form a smooth paste.
Now take a heavy bottomed pan, add the ground paste, 1 cup water and the boiled white beans and bring to boil.
Now keep a seasoning pan on the other stove, add the oil and fry the crushed garlic till golden.Now pour over the boiling curry. Serve hot with steaming rice.
