Poricha Kuzhambu is an authentic recipe of Tamil cuisine, more specifically Tambrahm menu. It can be made with a variety of vegetables both seperately or mixed.Generally I make this with two or three veggies added together.This I made with chaoyte otherwise called chow chow, brinjal and carrots.You can add a lot of veggies like beans, broad beans, cluster beans. peas, etc.It is very easy to make this recipe and tastes great with rice and dal with dollops of fresh homemade ghee.The coconut ground to a paste adds an extra flavour when mingled with vegetables.Do try and let me know.
