Selavu Aracha kuzhambu Recipe, Kongunadu Style (செலவு அரைத்த குழம்பு) | Kongunadu Style Selavu Aattiya Kuzhambu | Kongu Style Cauliflower Gravy | Village Style Cauliflower Gravy

Today I'm going to share a traditional Kongunadu style Selava Aracha Kuzhambu. The Selavu aracha masala means the curry paste ( ground paste ) which we used to make the gravy. We call this as selavu Kuzhambu or selavu aattiya kuzhambu. It's very famous in Coimbatore region, particularly in villages around Coimbatore.  We prepare all types of gravies in this way. The Selavu Aracha Masala is a coconut-based curry paste. This coconut-based curry paste can be used to prepare both veg gravies and non-veg gravies.

For making this selava aracha masala, we use only shallots for this recipe. Shallots are a must for this recipe which gives a very nice taste for this gravy. Try to use only shallots, not the big onions. Meen Kuzhambu / Fish Kuzhambu can be also prepared with this base gravy or curry paste.  But you need to add tamarind pulp along with curry paste for the fish gravy.

Today I'm going to prepare a vegetarian gravy with cauliflower in Kondunadu style. So I'm going to use cauliflower and kongu curry paste for making this gravy. You can substitute any vegetable or meat for this gravy. It can be served with hot idlis or rice.
