Karamani (Black Eyed Bean) Milagu Kuyambhu




We had a hearty lunch at one of our friends house and was wondering what to cook for dinner. I was lazying around after the delightful (as well as heavy) lunch and my favorite movie "shall we dance" was about to start (I own a DVD too of this and I have watched it upmteen number of times... but still I never liked to miss it whenever it is telecasted on TV,,,some movies you never get bored of....and this one is like that!!).


Then the idea struck...how about karamani milagu kuyambhu?? It will be nice to have this after an elaborate lunch. Luckily I had some karamani soaked for making sundal and that came handy!!

Ingredients for making this

Karamani ( 2 tbs soaked in hot water)
Tamarind Lemon Size
Milagu (black pepper) 1 - 1 1/2 tsp
Red Chillies - 3
Urad dhal - 1 tsp
Toor Dhal - 1 tsp
Curry leaves
Asafoetida - 1 small piece (or 1 pinch powder)

Soak the tamarind in water.
Soak the karamani (black eyed beans) in water for couple of hours.
Take a tsp of oil and roast all the ingredients except black eyed beans and curry leaves.
Let it cool and grind it well (powdery form).
Take a tsp of oil and add mustard. Let it splutter. Add the curry leaves and the soaked black eyed (after draining the water). Add the tamarind water and let it boil. Now add the powder to this boiling tamarind water and allow it to cook for couple of minutes.



Now the Karamani Milagu Kuyambhu is ready to be served. It goes well with rice and compliment sutta applam (Applam roasted on gas or microwave) with it.

Since this did not take too long... finished it in a jiffy and enjoyed my fav movie "Shall we dance"!!
