Arachu kalaki is A typical traditional Iyer dish from
kerala. As I belong to Tirunelveli in tamil nadu My village is near kerala
border and follow some dishes from kerala. This dish is a curd based gravy
prepared using kanni manga /Kadugu manga or Vadu manga or Maavadu-preserved in
salt water ground with green chillies, and coconut and tempered with
mustard seeds, red chillies and curry leaves.It goes well along with hot
steamed rice, poricha kuzhumbu, Pulikeerai .Today I made arachukallaki along
with poricha kuzhambu. It is really delicious and makes a excellent side
dish.
