Green Onion Gojju




Ingredients:

2 bunches of Green Onions(Eerulli hoovu)
Jaggery to taste
Salt
Tamarind
Curry leaves
Mustard seeds
Pinch of hing
1 tsp urad dal
1 tsp cumin seeds
1 tsp sesame seeds
1/4 tsp methi seeds
4-5 red chillies
1/4 cup shredded coconut (fresh/frozen)
1 tbsp oil
Water

Method:

Roast urad dal, cumin seeds, sesame seeds, methi seeds and red chillies separately until you get a good aroma. Grind it with coconut to a paste and keep aside. Chop the green onions.



Heat oil in a pan. When hot, add the mustard seeds, hing and the green onions. Saute until the onions are soft. Add the ground paste, tamarind, jaggery, salt and water. Bring to a boil and then lower the heat and simmer for 5 mins. Turn the heat off and add curry leaves. Serve hot with chapathis or rice!

Serves 4

NOTE: You can roast the dals and red chillies, powder and store them. This powder is a base for other gojjus like onion, okra and bitter gourd(karela) gojju.
