avarakkai curry

We always make avarakkai poriyal simply with coconut, moong dal as we make most of the poriyals. I recently posted avarakkai stir fry with black pepper in mezhukkupuratti style. I recently tried avarakkai curry in onion tomato base, thought of sharing the recipe here too.

Usually, I add sambar powder in the regular cooking menu such as sambar, kuzhambu, poriyals and curry. Same way used my sambar powder in this curry. If you do not have curry powder or sambar powder, you can use mild spiced red chilli powder and coriander powder in place of it.

Also for tempering, mustard and urad dal is used, if you like or use fennel seeds (soambu) you can also use 1/2 tsp of fennel seeds while tempering for a flavourful twist.
