Kayi huLi  | Mangalore style kayi huli

Kayi huli | navilkosu kayi huli is  udupi – Mangalore / Malnad style sambar or huli. The main ingredient is kayi – that is coconut hence the name kayi huLi. Usually we add curd or yogurt to this sambar at the end, since I am vegan I am not adding curd. Feel free to add curd /yogurt at the end.  I am using kohlrabi \ navilkol  / navilkosu |in this recipe ,but this sambar can be prepared using cucumber, beetroot, tondakai/tindora as well. This is a different kind of  huli/sambar for rice, rotti, and chapathi .
