Theeyal / Vegetables in Roasted Coconut Gravy

Theeyal is made with vegetables like brinjal, drumstick, potato, small onions or shallots.

We can use the same preparation for shrimp or chicken. Shallot theeyal is really special to most people.

Recipe:


Shallots or vegetables of your choice, 1 cup grated coconut, 3 tbs coriander seeds, red chillies, turmeric, tamarind pulp, mustard seeds, curry leaves.

Roast coconut, coriander seeds, red chillies, few curry leaves. Some prefer to roast the coconut and coriander seeds separately, some roast them all together. Grind them with little water to a fine paste. Cook vegetables with little water, tamarind water, turmeric and salt, half way through the process add the paste and cook until vegetables are soft. garnish with sauted mustard seeds and curry leaves.
