I am trying this for the first time and loved it so much.The flavor of coconut oil along with spices and spice powders tastes so good.
Making in claypot:
- I made this with my new claypot, Have you realised the taste enhances with dishes made in claypot? I have few claypots already and this burnt claypot came for review.
- You can check out how to season claypots here.
I love Kerala dishes mainly for the coconut oil flavour and with a add on, this has coconut pieces which gives a nice crunch to the curry while eating.Do try this and enjoy!
Variations:
Mezhukupuratti is a staple in Kerala as sidedish and can be made with many veggies like carrot,beans,raw banana etc.
