As I mentioned in my kallummakkaya fry recipe, here goes one more.
This is a healthy one with no compromise on taste 😉

Ingredients:

• Kallummakkaya(Mussels) : 2 cup
• Onion : 2 medium
• Shallot (small onion) : 8 Nos.
• Curry leaves: 10-15 Nos.
• Green Chilli: 4 Nos.
• Ginger (sliced) : 1 teaspoon
• Red Chilli Powder : 1 teaspoon
• Turmeric Powder : 1/4 teaspoon
• Water : 1 cup.
• Salt : 1/2 teaspoon (to taste)
• Coconut oil : 3 tablespoons
• Grated coconut: 1/2 cup

Step 1:
Cut onion and shallot to small pieces. Cut green chillies length-wise to two pieces. Keep it aside.

Step 2:
In a big pan add mussels, onions, shallots, green chillies, curry leaves, ginger, salt, water, turmeric and red chilli powder and mix well. That means all ingredients except coconut oil & grated coconut.

Step 3: Keep the pan on a low flame and close the lid. Stir this mix every 5 minutes. Check mussels after 10-15 minutes. If it is not cooked well, add little more water and cook again. Once it is cooked and water is less add grated coconut and mix well. Keep again for 5 minutes by closing the lid.

Open and spread oil. Keep it again for couple of minutes.

Your Podithooval is ready.
