Sodhi recipe with step by step photos. Easy and healthy mixed vegetable stew from Tirunelveli district. Tirunelveli district also known as Nellai is a city of historic importance in Tamilnadu. Tirunelveli sodhi kuzhambu is a very popular vegetarian side dish served in weddings. Sodhi is also known as mappilai sodhi. Mappilai meaning groom, this sodhi is a must in the post wedding feast.
Sodhi is made with coconut milk as main ingredient. Apart from that a small quantity of moong dal is also added in sodhi. All these along with mixed vegetables make sodhi very healthy dish. Very mild and sublime in flavor it is a real good comfort food on a cold day. It is similar to veg stew.
To make sodhi you can use mixed vegetables like potato, carrot, peas, beans, pumpkin. Two or more vegetables are enough for making sodhi. There are many variations in making sodhi. Here I am sharing the recipe I make often. This is easiest best recipe for sodhi if you have coconut milk handy. I always use homemade coconut milk in recipes like stew, coconut milk pulao.
Serve sodhi with inji pachadi, rice. Sodhi kuzhambu also tastes wonderful with appam, idiyappam, set dosa etc.
