Bottle guard curry / sorakai poriyal

I always make bottle guard with dhal and always had an opinion that making it dry won't work until I ate it in my friends place. The taste is also unique and quickly learned it from her.

Here goes the recipe.

Ingredients :

Bottle guard - 1
Onion - 1/4 medium size onion
Red chilli -2
Curry leaves - few
Peanut - 2 tbsp
Garlic pod -1
Oil - 1 Tbsp
Mustard seeds - 1/2 tsp
Urad dhal - 1 tsp
Turmeric powder - 1/4 tsp
Salt to taste
 
Method:

1. In a pan, add oil  and when it's hot, add mustard seeds and urad dhal.
2. Add onions and curry leaves and sauté well.
3. Add chopped bottle guard, salt and  turmeric and sauté well.
4. Don't add water. Close the lid and let it cook.
5. Cook until it is cooked  well but not mushy.
6. Grind peanut and garlic coarsely. My husband like dry frying the peanut and use it here.
    So it's your option.
7. Add the grind peanut and garlic and mix it well and close the lid for few minutes and switch off.

A another way to add healthy vegetable to your diet.
Enjoy cooking and  tasting.
