Poricha kuzhambu

Poricha kuzhambu recipe with step by step photos. Poricha kuzhambu or poritha kuzhambu is a delicious Tamil Brahmin style lentil gravy and mixed veggies. Usually the word poritha is used in recipes where tamarind is not used. Poricha kootu is also a popular dish in tamil nadu.

Poricha kuzhambu is always made with loads of fresh mixed vegetables so it goes well with a simple raita. In few homes poricha kuzhambu is paired with tomato pickle or some sour side dish as tamarind is not used in the kuzhambu itself.

Making poricha kuzhambu is easy. The only task is chopping the vegetables. The coconut paste used in poricha kuzhambu varies from home to home. I add coconut, raw rice, cumin seeds in my recipe. Raw rice gives a nice flavor and thickness to the kuzhambu. I love this poricha kuzhambu personally as it is very different in taste and flavor and a welcome change to regular sambar or kuzhambu.

To make poricha kuzhambu recipe broad beans, eggplant, carrot, drumstick, potatoes, tomato can be used. Two or more vegetables are also sufficient. You can use toor dal or moong dal in this recipe. I also sometimes use both lentils together.

Serve poricha kuzhambu with steamed rice.
