Colacassia or Chembu Curry Kerala Style

Colacassia or Chembu in Malayalam is a real tasty and highly nutritious vegetable cultivated in Kerala. But sad to say, it is not in the main course of Malayalees. It is a very good combination with any type of red meat especially beef, pork or even mutton. Shown here is Chembu with beef. Chembu can also be taken like Kappa "Puzhungiyathu" with Green Chilli, Onion, Coconut Oil Chammanthy. It is a great snack in the evenings especially in the rainy season. Steamed Colaccasia is a good source of energy and nutrition for the children as well.
