Ulli Theeyal Recipe

Print Recipe

I love everything about Kerala especially food. I have been lucky to have some origins from Kerala as my mom was from Palakkad. So, I got to learn few popular dishes from her. One of my favorite is Ulli Theeyal which is a delicious Kerala style curry. It is made with Onion Shallots which is cooked in tangy coconut gravy. Ulli means onion and that’s how this curry got its name.

Check out the video to make it:
