തിരുവാതിര പുഴുക്ക് | Thiruvathira Puzhukku

Puzhukku is a dish made of boiled/steamed root vegetables flavored with seasoned coconut paste. Thiruvathira Puzhukku is such a healthy dish made with a mix of different seasonal tubers and beans.

Thiruvathira Puzhukku is made with a mix of root vegetables and beans that are in season. The tubers are nutritious and filling while the beans provide a good source of protein. This makes it for the ladies who forgo rice based meals as part of the Thiruvathira rituals.
The ladies who observe the fast on this day abstain from rice based food and usually consume wheat porridge and thiruvathira puzhukku along with Koova Vilayichathu (Arrowroot Halva).

Eight different kinds of vegetables are used in this dish. Many of the tubers are hard to come by outside of Kerala. Along with the tubers , plantains and beans (cow peas, horse gram , green gram or a mix ) are added.
