Masala Sodhi/Masala Kozhambu
Sodhi is actually a tirunelveli dish. But this masla sodhi is completely different from that. I got this recipe from my sister. She is a wonderful cook and she is very innovative. She cooks a lot of dishes in her own style and this is one of that kind :). It is very different and I liked it. Here goes the recipe….
Preparation time: 30 minutes
No of Servings: 3-4
Spice level: 3 out of 5
Ingredients:
-
Cumin seeds-1/2 tsp
-
Onion-1 cup(finely chopped)
-
Carrot-1/2
-
Potato-1/2
-
Chayote squash-1/2
-
Coconut milk-1/2 cup
-
Tamarind-Pebble size
-
Sambar powder-1/2 tsp(optional)
-
Oil-1 tbsp
-
Salt-to taste
Masala to Grind:
-
Channa dhal-1 tbsp
-
Coriander seeds-1 tbsp
-
Red chillies-4(according to spice level)
-
Cumin seeds-1 tsp
Method of Preparation:
-
Heat 1 tsp of oil and fry all the masala to grind.
-
Allow it to cool and make it as a powder and keep it aside.
-
Heat the remaing oil in a pan and put cumin seeds.
-
Then fry the chopped onions till they become translucent.
-
Cut the vegetables like how we put for sambar and add the salt.
-
Fry them for 2 minutes.
-
Add a very little amount of water and allow it to boil.
-
After the vegetables are cooked add the coconut milk followed by the ground powder.
-
Check for the spice level and add the sambar powder if necessary.
-
Allow it ti boil for 10 minutes.
-
Finally add the tamarind water and boil for 5 minutes.
-
Serve hot with chappathi or rice 🙂

nice recipe.
I like to try it but I am from north India and coconut milk is not available here, is there any substitute for that?
Neha,
You can take milk from the coconut. Grind the coconut with hot water and use strainer to take the milk. you can grind the same coconut for atleast two times..
oh wow, this looks delicious!

@Aartee,lavi,Manju Rajender:As I ve mentioned this is not proper tirunelveli sodhi.It is made mainly of coconut milk.This is my sister’s creation :)soon I ll post the tirunelveli sodhi!!
@Neha:If you dont get the coconut milk,we can take coconut milk extract from the fresh coconut like how we usually make in India.
