A mouth watering South Indian curry which features a spectrum of flavours and colours is the very famous Malabari curry. Veg malabar curry is a perfect comfort food. It is really very simple to make and has the unique flavour of coconut, which also gives richness to the gravy.

The process of making this malabari curry is quite quick and easy. Every Indian household has their own style of making it and this is our version of the very famous Veg malabar curry. The traditional curry is made with fish and is a famous dish from Kerala but we have an alternative for vegetarians where we have used assorted vegetables in cooking the malabari curry.

The process is started by dry roasting all the ingredients like grated coconut, curry leaves, green chillies, garlic, cinnamon, cloves, pepper corns and a dry red chilli on a medium flame and are blended into a smooth paste using little water. This paste is used as a base to the South Indian style malabar curry.

Further, to make the final dish, take oil you can even make use of coconut oil if you wish to. Once the oil is hot, onions are sauted, next add in tomatoes. Once cooked, all the vegetables like potatoes, carrots, cauliflower and French beans are cooked by addition of water and once the vegetables are cooked, and finally the prepared paste is added and cooked and South Indian style malabar curry is ready to be served!!

An assortment of veggie of multiple colours, flavours and textures, while a tongue licking paste of coconut and spices which gives it luscious taste and amazing mouthfeel.

The veg malabar curry is also very versatile, as a hot bowlful of this vegetable dish can perfectly match a range of dishes, be it Rice, Roti, Dosa, Uttapa, Appam or Idiyappam.

I have never tried anything malabar style so far. I made it as a side dish for Kerala paratha and it tasted lip smacking! Thanks for the recipe. I made a small addition to the recipe. Added 1/2 tsp of sugar and a little milk in the end. This enhanced the taste even more. Loved the recipe.
