Mallung
Shredded Green Leaves With Coconut
A maying is very much part of the Sri Lankan diet. It can best be described as a dry
accompaniment, very tasty, to be eaten with rice. One or two different mallungs are served
with every meal and play an important part in nutrition because this is how the people of Sri
Lanka get their vitamins. The leaves of many common plants are used, some of them grow in
Western countries too for instance, the yellow flowered cassia. The flowers are dried to
make an infusion for medicinal purposes, and the leaves are stripped from the stems and
used for mallung. They have a pleasant sour flavour. Tender passion fruit leaves also make
delicious mallung. One of the most popular is 'gotakolle ', which looks like violet leaves but is
a type of cress which grows near water. as a substitute, use the common curly parsley so
readily available.

Bake or boil Kattarikai (egg plant/brinjals) and scoop the
pulp avoiding as much as seeds as possible.
Mix chopped onions, chopped green chillies (if you like) or
add black/white pepper powder, salt, lemon or lime juice and
add yogurt or mayonesse or whatever dressing you like and mix
them well. If you like you could add a little bit of garlic.
You have to decide the quantity of each ingredient.
This becomes a good dip to be eaten with rice or bread or
middle eastern bread. BTW, Kattarikkai is a Tamil word.
Enjoy this Tamil recipe please.
