Thank you very much for sharing this recipe; perfect for the cold weather and brings back the memories from my hometown - on each Dwadashi my mom used to make this (without the pumpkin though) in addition to NelliChettu.
ReplyDeleteWith a tinge of lemon juice & Naii(Ghee) the taste would be unbelievable. thanks again.
Thank you Sharath. Glad you like it
ReplyDeleteI thought on duadasi you used only moong dal and not tur dal. The milagu kuzhambu in that does not have dal, along with poriccha rasam. Easy digestion after a day of fast.
ReplyDeleteFor growing children in a vegetarian family, I now add vellai karamani or raw cooked groundnuts to milagu kuzhambu along with yellow pumpkin or sweet potato - to complete a quick meal.
Oh Nice Vasudha..Your method is little different. I add toor dal not moong dal to adjust the milagu kharu.
