Made with green gram dal and unripe plantain, this is a tasty puzhukku.Ingredients
2 cups - Green gram dal
1 - Unripe plantain, chopped with the skin
Salt to taste
Coarsely grind
1 cup - Grated coconut
1 to 2 - Shallot
4 to 5 - Green chili
1/2 tsp - Cumin seeds
Seasoning
1 tsp - Mustard seeds
2 sprigs - Curry leaves
Method
1 ) In a pressure cooker, cook green gram dal and plantain with 4 cups water. Add salt to taste. After the first whistle, lower heat and cook for 5 minutes. Turn off the stove, cool and open the cooker.
2 ) Coarsely grind ingredients listed without any water. Add the ground mixture to the cooked green gram dal. Mix well. Add little water if there is no water after cooking green gram dal. Keep the cooker back on stove and just cook for a minute, so the ground ingredients are lightly cooked. Turn the stove off.
3 ) Heat a pan with coconut oil / sesame oil. Add mustard seeds and pop, then add curry leaves. Pour the seasoning over the puzhukku.

Hi Pravs, this is a great new dish to me -- only the second time I have seen a recipe calling for the whole plantain skin and all! I'll definitely be trying -- thanks :)
what do you use to grind coconut without water/other liquid?
Anonymous : Do not add any water.. just coarsely grind in blender. Should not become a smooth paste.
