Thotakura Iguru
March 24th, 2010 | 
Author: Hi…
Today in the Indian store i saw one bag of green leaves..that r very similar to thotakura leaves…but there is red color coating in the middle of each leaf..i love thotakura curry..so brought home to c how those leaves are..while chopping the leaves i got the smell of same thotakura ..which gave me confidence that it is another type of thotakura…and even the curry tasted same..n it was awesome….Thank god..i am not missing thotakura curry in USA. 🙂
Ingredients:-
Thotakura 3 bunches
Onion 1, medium sized
Green chillies 3
Tadka:-
Turmeric powder 1/2 tspn
salt to taste
Red chillies 2
garlic crushed / cut in middle 6 cloves
Chana dal 1/2 tspn
urad dal 1/2 tspn
mustard seeds 1/2 tspn
cumin seeds 1/2 tspn
Oil 2 tspns
Preparation:-
Wash the thotakura leaves well in water so that all the soft sand will be removed…after cleaning..Chop the leaves by holding roughly with hand full..
chop the onion ,green chillies n tomato.
Heat the skillet with 2 tspns of oil..
when the oil is hot enough add the garlic cloves and sauté for few seconds..now add red chillies n other tadka ingredients and saute till mustard starts popping up.. Now add chopped green chillies and Onions and sauté the onions for 3 minutes till they become little soft..
Now add half of the chopped thotakura…Now mix the tadka well so that the onions come up on the leaves…by the time due to heat..thotakura shrinks n give space in the skillet to add the remaining chopped leaves..No need to stir curry as it wont be convenient…so press down with palm if the skillet is very full…n place the lid n let it cook for 3 to 5 minutes…after 5 minutes if u open the lid n see..the curry will b shrinked to half…stir it well and add enough salt ..keep the lid n let it cook for another 5 minutes..Now the curry will be half cooked..add the chopped tomatoes ..stir it and place the lid…Till now the curry should be cooked on medium heat..after adding tomatoes….cook in the same heat for 3 minutes n reduce the flame n let it cook in sim to medium heat for about 10 minutes…taste the curry to ct hat its cooked..it should be soft n raw smell should be there..
Note:-
For this thotakura curry talimpu should be with more number of garlic cloves
No red chilli powder is added to the curry..the spiciness to the e curry will be only by green chilies n red chillies.
No water is added in the curry…the water will be oozed out from the leaves..so that the curry is cooked in that moisture.

Thank you for all your efforts on this blog. My mom really likes engaging in investigation and it is obvious why. A number of us hear all of the dynamic way you convey both interesting and useful suggestions via this website and improve participation from other individuals on the idea so our own simple princess is without a doubt becoming educated so much. Take advantage of the remaining portion of the year. You are always doing a really good job.
Admiring the commitment you put into your site and in depth information you provide. It’s good to come across a blog every once in a while that isn’t the same out of date rehashed information. Excellent read! I’ve bookmarked your site and I’m adding your RSS feeds to my Google account.
Zune and iPod: Most people compare the Zune to the Touch, but after seeing how slim and surprisingly small and light it is, I consider it to be a rather unique hybrid that combines qualities of both the Touch and the Nano. It’s very colorful and lovely OLED screen is slightly smaller than the touch screen, but the player itself feels quite a bit smaller and lighter. It weighs about 2/3 as much, and is noticeably smaller in width and height, while being just a hair thicker.
