Senai-Kizhangu Masiyal:
Yam-Lentils Curry. Senai Kizhangu Kadaisal/Kadaiyal.
I heard about this dish thro’ my maid. She is a great cook. I wanted to keep its authenticity, so used kal-chatti / mann chatti for blending. This gives very earthlty flavour! This goes to Shama’s Village Special Event (Grammathu Kaimanam)
Ingredients:
Yam 1/4 kilo
Thoor Dal 1 small cup
Green chilies 6
Garlic 6-7 beads
Onion 1 medium
Tomatoes 1-2
Salt
Turmeric powder 1/4 spoon
Tamarind paste 1/4 spoon
Oil few spons.
For Sesonning:
Thallipu Vadagam 1 spoon
Mustard seeds 1/4 spoon
Cumin seeds 1/4 spoon
Fenugreek 2
Peppercorns 2
Asafoetida 1/4 spoon
Dry red chilies 1
Urad dal 1/4 spoon
Curry leaves few
Sesame oil few spoons.
Method:
Scrape away the thick skin and wsh the veggie. Chop them roughly and leave them in cold water until cooking.
Cook thuvar dal in a pressure cooker till tender. Set aside.
In a wide wok, heat oil. Add chilies, garlic, onion and tomatoes. Fry them real good.
Then followed by veggies. Add salt and turmeric to it.
Add a cup of water and cook them tender.
When they are almost done…add 1/4 of tamarind water.
Remove them from stove(make sure there is not more water). Now coarsely grind them in a mann-chatti/blender. Then add cooked thoor dal and blend once again.
In a seperate pan, heat oil. Add sesonning items. Run this sesonning over the masiyal made above.
Serve warm to go with your steamed rice.

Hi Malar,
