    Palakottai Poriyal Recipe - A no onion and no garlic curry recipe that is nutty and spicy that can be served either as a side dish for rice or can simply be enjoyed as a snack.

    palakottai-poriyal-recipe

    Of all the Palakottai recipes, this Palakottai poriyal is my absolute favourite. You can also check out Palakottai Vadai and Palakottai Masala Varuval which are equally delicious.

    I don’t keep a count on how many times I make this curry during the summer whenever I could get hold of a pack of these.

    I love to have this palakottai poriyal spicy and hot.

    This curry not only is enjoyable as a snack, but also lip-smacking good when had with rasam and curd rice.

    The chewy goodness is too good to miss out on.

    Though I do make this Poricha kootu using palakottai, this recipe is the one that's often made and enjoyed frequently at home.

    palakottai-poriyal-recipe

    During the childhood holidays spent in Trichy, this poriyal was the most requested by me.

    I remember my Grandma making it for me at least twice or thrice every week.

    It is supposed to increase the body heat and she used to scold me too but that never stopped me.

    Those days not only was the quality good but the taste was also awesome, I cannot say the same about the ones we get now, especially in Chennai.

    You simply cannot ignore the jack fruit smell when you pass by the person selling it.

    But now, even if you hold one to your nose, there is no aroma at all and the fruit feels like rubber and tastes too bland.

    Make sure that you grease your fingertips with oil before removing the papery white skin to prevent the milk from making your fingers sticky.

    The quantity taken to pressure cook the palakottai will depend on the quality of the seed.

    Lesser number of whistles if they happen to be tender and more if they are more mature.

    Notes

    The 2 teaspoon water is added so that the sambar powder could coat the seeds well. So do not add more than that
