Muringakka Paalu Pizhinju Vechathu – Drumsticks stewed in mildly spiced up coconut milk



Blogger Me: (In a pensive mood)What’s happening to my blog…...it ‘s been few weeks since I last updated….!!
Real Me: So what? If you don’t feel like updating, don’t do it. Btw, who cares whether you post something or not??
Blogger Me: That’s true…..yet I have been getting some comments from my readers and mails from friends asking about my disappearance……some of my friends even phoned me …….so there are people who open my blog….
Real Me: (shrugs)) yeh…..may be

Blogger Me: I think  I am going through a terrible blogger’s block….just don’t know what to write…….
Real Me: If you don’t know what to write, don’t write. What bothers you so much…? You were never like this…..you never liked forcing yourself to do things if you can’t commit yourself fully…….
Blogger Me: yeah….true……but this is just a hobby and blogging is something I  enjoyed a lot…….I don’t want it to end up in the list of my dead hobbies….:(
Real Me: Well, then…take a break….refresh yourself and come back….
Blogger Me: yeah ..I considered that option too….but after all these weeks, I still don’t think I am recharged enough to start blogging again…..I am afraid I ‘m falling into the deep pit of laziness!!

….a conversation that I went over and over in my small head in the past several weeks. A short break that started because of a small technical challenge from my old PC, that has been huffing and puffing for quite some time due to old age, got extended due to my sheer laziness and a series of cases of plagiarism. I am aware of the root causes too , yet the thought of moving my rear end from that cozy couch on a Sunday evening and dragging myself to the computer, transferring the thoughts into words and keying them into readable sentences as an introduction for the recipe, then typing down the recipe itself  to make it sound appealing and doable  to the readers out there, watermarking the pictures, uploading , editing……..I wonder, when did it start sounding like such a herculean task!!!!!! Did I really lose interest???

Like many bloggers, I am also going through that mid-blog-life crisis…….For a change, our dining table and chairs are placed and angled right in the centre of the dining corner…..placemats are stacked neatly on top and napkin holder and the vase holding fresh money-plant strings are right in the centre……window drapes are finally resting on its rod…….the army in black - camera, battery charger, tripod etc etc has been retreated silently to the inwards of the shelf……..that yellow scribbling pad to note down the measurements has been missing from the kitchen countertop, for weeks ……in short, there is no mess in the kitchen and dining area and to be precise, all the traces of a food blogger living in the apartment has been completely vanished!!!!!!!

So, before I show the ‘Road ends here’ signboard to myself , I thought I should make a grave attempt to recharge my own battery and to jump start the old wagon, let me start with some recipes from my drafts.

Muringakka Paalu Pizhinju vechathu is a beautiful example of the simplicity of Kerala cuisine where simple ingredients provide the ground for fragrance and flavour. The natural fragrance of drumsticks and curry leaves ……creaminess of freshly squeezed coconut milk………pungent smell of crackled mustard seeds and sautéed small onions in flavourful and aromatic coconut oil make it one of our favourite from the family of vegetarian dishes.

Ingredients:
  1. 2 big/generous handfuls of drumstick pieces, cleaned and split lengthwise into 2 “ pieces
  2. 3-4 Indian green chillies
  3. A small 1” inch piece of ginger, thinly sliced
  4. ½ to ¾ tsp red chilly powder
  5. ½ tsp coriander powder
  6. ¼- ½ tsp turmeric powder
  7. Salt to taste
  8. 1 ¼ cup thin coconut milk/Randaampaal
  9. ¼ cup thick coconut milk/Thanipaal
  10. 1 tbsp coconut oil
  11. ½ tsp mustard seeds
  12. 2-3 dry red chillies
  13. 2-3 small red pearl onions, thinly sliced
  14. 1 sprig of curry leaves
Directions:
  • In a “mann-chatti”/clay pot or in a sauce pot, add all the ingredients listed from 1 to 8 and let it cook in thin coconut milk, covered with lid,  in a low-medium heat till it boils. Now remove the lid and reduce the heat to low and cook until drumsticks are soft and done. At this stage, add thick coconut milk and let it cook for 3-4 minutes in low flame, till it starts to blend well with all the spices. Keep the flame at low and do not let it boil too much. Turn off the stove.
  • In another shallow pan, heat coconut oil, splutter mustard seeds, dry red chillies and sauté thinly sliced small onions and curry leaves for a minute or two. Pour everything to the prepared curry, close the lid and let it rest for 15 minutes.  Gently mix everything, before serving with a plate of steaming rice.
My heartfelt thanks to all those who dropped a line here, mailed & phoned me………Each comment & enquiry was enough to give me the nudge to get back to blogging but there are times when you really start acknowledging the significance of the word self-motivation!!!!!

  6. Finally u r back....u r right, we get bored at times of blogging...but eventually start blogging again to get rid of that boredom:)Good post again Shn....got some drumstick drying in the fridge for days....wud try this...

    ReplyDelete
  7. So glad to see you back blogging…I was really missing the tales….I think the comments in previous posts means many echo the same!!:-)
    I do have these blocks too...and sudden feeling that the creativity battery is down…its so hard to get myself recharged again once I am in that phase…So I can very well understand your predicament…Anyways we are happy that you have finally..:-)

    Btw talking of muringakka I did not respect that vegetable when I was a kid…infact I was scolded often for throwing it away without ‘eembing’ (new word it should be) properly!;-D
    Similarly for the avial and Sambhar...I used to just discard it away…but now whenever I get a chance, I make sure that I relish every bit of it….I don’t think I can ever make this curry here coz we don’t get drumsticks here…only thing sounding remotely same are the ‘drumbeat meetings’ as we call in office every Monday afternoon…today it will remind me of something else…:-(

  23. Hi Shn,
    It’s good to see your post again. I have been visiting your blog almost every day to see an update. Easter is coming soon and I am completely relying on your blog for an interesting recipe.

  24. Hi shn,

  25. Thanks a lot for ur come back mish mash...I accept I havent dropped u many comments other than 2 or 3.
    But I really u missed u yaaarr...Really wanted to ask u why u are not active.. Then thought I havent cared to sent any comments to ur good works.. Then all of a sudden when someone wanted to take a break why to disturb. But I was really worried thinking what might have gone wrong..
    The day I come across your blog I felt like in heaven. Only other day I felt the same was when I come across a site which has links to ‘Bobanum Moliyum Cartoons’. I had missed it from the day I reached here. When I really feel bored at work, I come here to read ur posts. I look for ur great write ups more than your recipes. You know what shn..When I started reading ur posts I made it a point that I don’t cover everything at once. I surely wanted to keep something for next day. And finally I covered all ur posts.The same happened with Bobanum Moliyum site. The bad thing is Bobanum Moliyum site never got updated. The good thing is u updated ur blog with at least a post in a week. And I used to literally wait for it. I just wish if u realize what I missed for last few weeks.
    I havent tried many of ur recipes, but whatever I tried always came as good.
    I tried ur X'mas fruit cake, fish molee, pineapple+grapes pachadi, beet root, cucumber pachadies, olan, stew, biriyani etc.
    If I really sit back and think the list might go longer.. .. I have even prepared and got the cake to office.. it was such a big hit and even this moment they all believe I am such a great cook. And now I wonder what the hell I was thinking when tried something from ur blog and never bothered to sent u any comments…
    Here I admit that, I am soo happy to see u back. Soo happy to know u r fine.
    Thanks a lot for all ur good work Shn… U definitely made my life much happier. I know I made it bit sentimental. Sorry abt it. Keep up ur good work.

    ReplyDelete
  26. ive never had this one before and soo glad you posted this and so very glad you came out of your block :D

    but you're wrong when you think " who's going to bother?" of course, everybody who loves your recipes will bother!

    Rajma has to be cooked very softly, and after adding the masala also if you give two whistles the spices will blend nicely in to it.

  56. Hi. Stumbled upon your site today. Do you have a recipe for a duck roast, the Kerala way? I remember driving to my uncle's place in Changanacherry early morning (from Trivandrum) when I was younger and having a breakfast of puttu, duck roast and fresh toddy. Can't even begin telling you how great that meal was. :) Suspect the recipe will not be very different from the egg roast and chicken roast recipes you have. Thanks. -- Josey John

This is such a sudden death & as these things do to you, u have left us in absolute misery...

    This is for a recipe request. Do you know of any recipes of pumpkin/mathanga chammanti using the mushy part inside the pumpkin which has the seeds. My father says he has had a chammanthi of that mushy part after roasting it, which is very tasty. But he doesnt know the ingredients. Any clue??

  85. Hi there,

    I came across your blog and saw that you enjoy healthy cooking and experimenting with new recipes. Stonyfield Farm makes Oikos Organic Greek yogurt which can be used in a variety of ways while cooking – in baking, as a substitute for sour cream and mayonnaise, in dips and sauces and to create tasty low-fat dishes. Greek yogurt is strained, making it thicker and more versatile in recipes than regular yogurt. Oikos is organic, which means it's made without artificial colors, flavors or sweeteners, and it's made from organic milk produced without the use of toxic persistent pesticides, chemical fertilizers, antibiotics, or artificial growth hormones (rBST). We feel that organic is not only better for you, but better for the planet as well.

    I would love to send you coupons to give Oikos a try. If you're interested, just send me an email at kdrociak@stonyfield.com and let me know where to send them.

    Take care,
    Kristina

    I've been mia for a bit too -- I can empathize. C'mon back when you're ready -- you know you'll always be welcomed with open arms! Although, if you keep cooking up drumsticks like this, I might have to come find you first ;)

  90. When I read your internal dialogue, I thought I was talking to myself. :P
    My blogging activity has been very erratic since the start of 2009. We all go through it if we've kept it up for any duration. As much as it has its pleasures, blogging is hard work, too.

    I'm glad I stopped by...finally. The timing was just right, and this gentle, rich stew has me sighing.
