Ulli Theeyal/Shallots in Tamarind and Coconut Sauce

Ulli Theeyal is a typical Kerala dish in which shallots are cooked in tamarind,roasted coconut paste and other spices.My mom learned this dish from one her colleague and I from her.Since everybody in my house likes this one she makes it weekly once(mostly on Sundays) and serve it rice and papads.Here goes the recipe......

Ingredients

IngredientQuantity
Shallots/Pearl onion10-15nos.
Tamarind paste2tsp
Turmeric powder1/2tsp
Oil2tbs
Curry leaves1 sprig
Mustard seeds/kadugu1/2tsp
Urad dhal/ullutham paruppu1tsp

To roast and grind
IngredientQuantity
Coconut(grated)1/2cup
Red chilly4-5nos.
Coriander/dhaniya seeds2tsp
Cumin seeds/jeeragam1/2tsp
Fenugreek seeds/vendhayam1/8tsp


Method
                         
                           Cut the shallots into small pieces,dry roast the ingredients given for roasting and grind it to a smooth paste with little water and keep aside.
Heat a pan with the oil and crackle the mustard seeds and urad dhal.Add the onions,curry leaves and saute it till it becomes transparent.Now add the tamarind paste,ground paste and salt.
Add a cup of water and turmeric powder,let it boil till the raw smell goes off and becomes thick.
Ulli Theeyal is ready.Serve it with hot rice and papad.
Enjoy.........................

  • Instead of coriander seeds,coriander powder can be used which needs to be roasted after the coconut and red chillies fried.
  • I used both Kashmiri red chilly and regular red chilly to get the color and taste.

  11. Hello, i am very interested in this recipe. I am confused. WHen you say to use tamarind paste, do you mean dried tamarind soaked in water or something like TAMCOM. thank you. i cannot wait to make this one.

  12. Hi anonymous the tamarind paste I mention is thick paste which is made out of dried tamarind soaked in less water.If you are using store bought like TAMCON the amount can be reduced to 1-11/2tsp since it is very thick....

  17. That is very good to hear. I will try to follow your example...don't think it will be too hard as we have trouble drinking all our milk in the summer, anyways. Any tips on how long ice cream made by the machine lasts stored?

  18. Review of Jungle Island game, a slot game that dabbles in the forest of millenia tribes. It is an old stone age themed game that XOSLOT presents for everyone to play. Having said that, this game is still seasoned as another game that has been brought to service for friends to try out. which comes with the theme of the amazing ancient island cruising You will see colorful birds and many other ancient animals. Having said that, this SlotXO game has been developed very well. both in terms of graphics and music effect All of them have done excellently. There are indigenous peoples and wild animals Let the players come and adventure together. The game has features and colors. This game focuses on cuteness. The rules of play are also easy to understand and play. understand play style The game is not complicated. รีวิวเกม Jungle Island

  21. Less Than or Equal to: This sign generally used at the places where we have to specify the quantity. It means that the value should equal either to the given value or less than the given value. The less than or less than the symbol used is \leq. For example, A jug can hold up to 4 cups of water. This means that jug can hold 4 cups of water or it could be less than 4 cups. In mathematical form, we can write it as capacity \leq 4. more info: lessthansymbol.com
