Recipe For Garlic & Onion Curry

Ingredients

  • Sambhar Onions (Pearl Onions) - 6-8 (cut into halves)
  • Garlic Cloves - 12-15
  • Tamarind - Lemon size
  • Sambhar Powder - 3 tbsp (Use any brand)
  • Salt - to taste
  • For Tempering
  • Sesame Oil - 3 tbsp
  • Mustard Seeds - 1/2 tsp
  • Fenugreek Seeds - 1/4 tsp
  • Asafoetida - 1/4 tsp
  • Curry Leaves - 1 spring

Method

  1. Soak the tamarind in warm water and extract the pulp. Keep aside. (You can put it in microwave and extract the pulp without soaking for a long time.)
  2. Heat the oil in a kadai. Splutter the mustard seeds and fenugreek seeds. The fenugreek seeds gives a nice flavor to the gravy.
  3. Add the asafoetida, curry leaves, pearl onions and garlic cloves.
  4. Saute on medium flame for a few minutes.
  5. Add the sambhar powder and fry for a minute.
  6. Add the extracted tamarind pulp, required water and salt.
  7. Bring it to a boil, reduce the flame and let it simmer till oil separated from the gravy.

Serving Suggestion

Variation

  • Instead of using store bought sambhar powder, you can prepare the masala powder at home. Dry roast 1 tbsp channa dal, 1 tbsp coriander seeds, 1/2 tsp peppercorns, 5-7 dry red chillies. Make a powder and add to the gravy. This freshly made powder is much more flavorful than the store bought powder. But for busy moms and working ladies, a good brand of sambhar powder is the best alternative.

as it is the taste of kunjulli, cheriya ulli, i.e. what it is called in kerala is always tastier. my mother used to chop the same and fry it in either til oil or ghee and with hot rice i used to eat only that (red boiled rice) nothing else i add to it.
