Instructions

23 steps
  1. 1

    To begin making the Mangalorean Manoli Curry Recipe; we will first steam cook the Manoli

  2. 2

    You can use a pressure cooker or a steamer to cook it

  3. 3

    Precooking the Manoli (Indian Gherkins) makes the cooking process faster and more nutritious too

    sunflower oil - for cooking
  4. 4

    I like to use a pressure cooker for steaming the vegetables

  5. 5

    To do this, place the cut Manoli (Indian Gherkins) along with a pinch of salt and 2 tablespoons of water into the pressure cooker

    salt - to taste
  6. 6

    Cover the pan, place the weight on and allow the vegetable to cook in the pressure cooker until you hear two whistles

  7. 7

    After a whistle, turn off the heat and you can place the pressure cooker under running water to release the pressure immediately

  8. 8

    Releasing the pressure immediately, helps retain the fresh green color of the Gherkins and also gives it a perfectly cooked texture

    Our next step is to make the Manoli Curry Masala

  11. 11

    In a small pan; roast the dry red chillies, fenugreek, coriander, cumin and black pepper until you can smell the roasted aromas

    dry red chilli(4)coriander (dhania) seeds(1 tablespoon)cumin seeds (jeera)(1 teaspoon)whole black peppercorns(1 tablespoon)
  12. 12

    Add these to a small blender jar, along with the coconut, tamarind and turmeric powder

    tamarind(1)fresh coconut - grated(2 cups)turmeric powder (haldi)(1 teaspoon)
  13. 13

    Grind the spices adding very little water to make a smooth curry paste

  14. 14

    The Manoli curry paste is now ready

  15. 15

    Keep aside

  16. 16

    In the next step; heat a teaspoon of oil in a pan; add the chopped onions, and saute for a couple of minutes until the onions are soft and tender

    onion - chopped(1)
  17. 17

    Add the curry paste and saute for a couple of more minutes

  18. 18

    Stir in the steamed gherkins, salt and add about 1-1/2 to 2 cups of water

    salt - to taste
  19. 19

    You essentially want a thick gravy for the Manoli Curry; hence add water accordingly

  20. 20

    Give all the ingredients a good stir

  21. 21

    Check the salt levels and adjust to suit your taste

    salt - to taste
  22. 22

    Give the mixture a quick boil only when you are ready to serve

  23. 23

    Serve the Mangalorean Manoli Curry Recipe along with Whole Wheat Lachha Paratha and Tomato Onion Cucumber Raita for an everyday meal
