Wow! Kavi fantastic recipes in last 2 weeks. 👏 👏 👏

Roja - Sri Lankan 'kool' is not made from tapicoa but from panamaram (as described by Kavitha) and you cannot get them here. So of course, we get it from SL whenever someone visits that country. The ingredients are as described by Sue - all these ingredients are must - long beans, tapicoa, palakai (young jackfruit), crabs, fish head, prawns, salted fish, small fish are a must in non-vegi 'kool'. Sounds yucky doesn't? 😊 But once you have the acquired taste for it, you are a fan of this kool. It is cooked with the flour, chili powder, tumeric powder, tamarind juice and the flour of course. Minus the seafood stuff is the veggi type. In my grandmother days, she loves drinking 'kool' using jackfruit leaf as the plate and she enjoys drinking from it.

The panamaram is difficult to break apparently. It takes months to ripen before various products are made from it including the flour. As the flour gets old, it becomes more tastier.

Kavi, if I am not mistaken, my mum is making kool tonight. 😊 I am not a big fan of kool, but my sister and my dad are really crazy abt it. It is said it is a booster for those who are repucreating from flu/cold/cough.

Thanks Kavi for the pulichaikeera's English name. I always wondered what it is. My favourite is this. If my mum cooks this, she will keep a small bowl of it just for me, and I take it with rice/bread or whatever goes with it and eat for days. 😃 Thanks for your recipe Roja. Will try it too.

My mum adds fried anchoivies to this dish Kavi if she cooks on non veggie days. She does exactly like yours only she adds more bird eye chili because I like it spicy. Goes well with rice and fried fish. Another dish she makes with this is by adding lentils and make exactly like paruppu curry. Yum......... 😊

Caryn thanks for all the info.
You have been missing for sometime
and came with a bang. You have made
me happy. Thanks Caryn.
Caryn " gonggura" is a Telugu term for
pulichakeerai.
In english it is known "sorrel"leaves.
If the stem is red in colour it is known
as "red sorrel"

Caryn I remember being served with the
jackfruit leaf cup. So enjoy tonight Caryn.

Note: Please show your thirupaatham once in a way
in the recipe thread. As you said it is a booster for me. Thanks Caryn. Love Kavitha Ravi.

Red Sorrel Leaves Pulichakeerai

Thanks Kavi.

👏 👏
Been busy lately. But I will try to come as much as I can

Thanks Caryn, I am sure it will make a sweet dessert.
It also reminds me of the pengat pisang my malay friends make. Thanks again Caryn.

Thanks for the Ragi bread Kavi. I shall try this out. Nair bhaiya loves puttu made out of Ragi. I am sure he would love to try this out with his favourite fish curry or onion curry. 😆

As for Bubur Lambuk (Assorted Porridge)we can always substitute chicken instead of beef as our Malay counterparts do. Bubur Lambuk is a favourite amongst the Malays while "Chang" (Glutinous Rice Dumplings wrapped in bamboo leaves)is a must for the Chinese to serve it during the Chang Festival. 😃

You are welcome Kavi and thanks for your sweet compliment as well. 😊

Sure, I will and when I wrote the comments, I was planning to post my recipe - but after preparing it! Because I wanted to get the pictures to go along with it!! 😉

I too cook all these Forgotten-healthy food items once in a while for the same above reason you had mentioned! 😊

Hey, Kavi, I just found out from mum what flour they use to make SL kool. It is called "Odiyial maa". It is from panamaram. 😃 Yes, we had kool last night. 😉

Btw, Kavi, I do not like Ragi very much because it tastes sandy. How do you remove the sand?

Thanks Supree for the adai recipe. Truly its a very healthy recipe. Thanks again. Kavitha Ravi.
