Ulli Theeyal is a popular Kerala sidedish, For those who are new to this...Ulli means Small Onion.Theeyal is a typical Kerala dish which is included in
Onam Sadya Menu only in some parts of Kerala.Theeyal can be made with Shallots(Small Onion / Ulli), Pavakkai(Bittergourd),Okra(Vendakkai) etc.But Ulli Theeyal is a great combination, as shallots in this tamarind coconut based gravy pairs so well.I loved it with rice and with idli dosa for the next day. I love coconut oil flavour so this ulli theeyal recipe was a great treat for me.
The curry is thickish perfect to pair with rice, I had little leftover which I had with dosa the next day and I just loved the combo.
