Boy Choy & Shrimps Thanni Kuzhambu:
Sothi Kuzhambu. Iral-Keerai Sothi Kuzhambu. Boy Choy & Shrimps Stew. Shrimps and Greens Stew.
Botanical name of Bok Choi is Brassica chinensis. It comes under cabbage family! This is commonly called as ‘Chinese Cabbage’. It initially spread to European countries and America, where Chinese settlements were high! Though I have tasted this several times in various Asian restaurants, never actually dared enough to cook them at home. My brother gave lot of introduction to it…like he said, he make poriyal, kootu etc with bok choy!! So finally, tried it in my own way ‘thanni kuzhambu’! To make the greens delectable, I even added few shrimps. One can make it plain and simple, with just greens alone!
Ingredients:
Bok Choy 5-7 leaves – chopped roughly
Shrimps 10-12
Green chilies 3 slitted
Onion 1 grated
Ginger-garlic pate 1 spoon
Tomatoes 1 large chopped
Salt
Turmeric 1 pinch
Chili powder 1/2 spoon
Coconut milk 1 cup
Cinnamon stick 1
Cloves 3
Oil few spoons.
Method:
In a wide wok, heat oil. Add the whole spices and wait till they crackle.
Add chilies, ginger-garlic paste and onion. Fry real good.
Once the raw smell is gone, add tomatoes too. Fry till they wilt.
Add salt turmeric and chili powder. Further add greens, shrimps and 1 cup of coconut milk. Cover and cook till they are done.
Make them in stew consistency…serve to go with roti, chappathi, iddiyappam, appam, dosa or idly.
The kuzambu looks delicious Malar, adding BoyChoy in kuzumbu sounds interesting!
In kuzhambu adding bok choy and shrimp is really delish! I’ve never tried bok choy.I Like to have them with appam and dosa.
