Poduthol

Poduthol (Malayalam: പൊടുത്തോല്‍) is a South Indian North Malabar side dish. It is generally had with cooked rice during lunch and dinner. It is a customary dish in weddings and other ceremonies.

Method of cooking

The first step in cooking Poduthol is finely chopping vegetable, including cabbage, beans, unripe jackfruit, carrot, unripe banana, yardlong bean, bittergourd, whitespot giant arum and leaves such as green or red cheera, Moringa oleifera, Ipomoea aquatica and Sesbania grandiflora. These finely chopped leaves and vegetables can be mixed-up with turmeric powder, chili powder, sliced onion and grated coconut. The mixture is put in a hot pan and stirred until fully cooked.[1] After cooking curry leaves and mustard fried in coconut oil is poured over it along with some cloves of garlic.
