🥬 It's a SRI LANKAN KALE MELLUM 🥬
#vegan #glutenfree, #quickandeasy and #withoutcooking
In Sri Lankan cuisine, mellum (sometimes spelled mellung) roughly means green leafy vegetables that are chopped and mixed with coconut and onion, so a mellum could also be called a kind of Sir Lankan salad.
RECEIPT for 2 people:
In your fridge you will need:
🥬 75g Kale (weighed without stem) ➡️ remove the thick stems and chop the leaves very small with a food processor or knife.
🧅 one small red onion,(depending on your onion preference, the amount can also vary) ➡️ chop finely
🥥 25g grated coconut (dried) or fresh grated coconut ➡️ to rehydrate the dried coconut, pour some hot water over it and let it sit for 2 minutes. Then pour off the water through a sieve.
🍋 fresh juice of a ¼ lime
🌶 Season with a little salt & pepper, you can also add some chilli or turmeric if you like.
Put everything in a bowl and knead vigorously by hand, so the flavour unfolds best. Done!
🍲SUITS:
- As a side dish with curries or biryanis
- on a salad buffet
- as a healthy snack with bread or nan, for example in combination with hummus
💡ALTERNATIVES AND TIPS:
Depending on what’s available in your fridge, you can also try the following:
- Instead of Kale, baby spinach or broccoli can be used.
Broccoli Mellum tastes better if the broccoli is cut into small pieces and steamed briefly in a frying pan. Use a little coconut oil or olive oil and also sauté the onions with it. You can also fry the Kale mellum if you like.
- The recipe also works without coconut or with lemon instead of lime.
- If no red onions are available, use what ever onion you have.
- In Asia stores you can buy frozen grated coconut - also very tasty! But once thawed it has to be used quick.

[Music] we all have roots I come from Sri
Lanka and Martina was born in Switzerland but to be rooted in one place isn't our nature
so we decided for a nomadic lifestyle in 2016 and we have been living in our van ever since
traveling is fun but I also love food I can honestly say that I can enjoy both these worlds
even when we travel to remote places with what's in the fridge series we would like
to present you fun videos of our traveling lives and a simple recipe of Martina's cooking
in each epi
sode so join us and keep our Channel subscribed so that you will get notified for
more videos like this [Music] thank you [Music] look at this so what are you cooking right
now a lucky husband lucky husband you're doing a Biryani yeah okay great what
kind of Biryani is it it's a Martina style chicken biryani Martina style chicken biryani
okay because Dylan orders biryani every time he's in a curry shop and every time he's disappointed
because there is no sauce so I make a very saucy Biryani that
's true that's very true
whenever I go to these restaurants in Europe I kind of get pretty disappointed because
you know most of the time they are too dry or you know they don't taste exactly like
like mine there must be restaurants around who do great biryanis but I haven't found
them so every time Martina makes it I really love it that means I get to cook it every
week once at least oh come on when did you last cook a biryani that's not true that's
not true yeah I wish you cook every day a bir
yani I mean not every day probably uh every
second day well I can do that for one week and then you will beg me to stop cooking biryani
okay yeah well um we are in Wales right now look at this view from our door so let me
go out and so you guys can see what a great place this is the sun is shining and Punchi
is running around happily, sheep grazing lovely this is so great we arrived here a
couple of hours ago um we've been traveling through the UK since three weeks it's been
a great experience b
ut we have been pretty unlucky with the weather because it has been
raining quite a lot windy and yeah but at last as you can see the sun is shining I have
been to Wales a couple of times but never in this region you know it's quite hilly I
wouldn't call them mountains you know since I live in Switzerland I'm used to different
kinds of mountains so what did you find in the fridge today some kale that has to bee eaten right away
so that means we're just going to eat what should be thrown away or
no it's not to throw
away of course I hate throwing food away so better use it as it's still good so we talk
a lot about the Biryani but we are happy to share that recipe with you of a mallum did
I say correct mallum yeah Sri Lankan salad you can combine it easily with a curry with
the biryani um even just as a salad or with the hummus or whatever you're doing just enjoy
it so it's important that you take the big stems
away because I think that's what makes kale um bitter and you can of course y
ou can also cut it
very small with a knife but since I'm a lazy cook I just have a machine so kale tastes
like gotukole gotukole is a plant you find in Sri Lanka with scraped coconut I love it
this is cheated coconut where do you get them I just bought the dried
one and I put hot water on it to make it wet again okay so you got the desiccated coconut
okay yeah and then you just put it in hot water yes in hot water and then you squeeze
it out and use it like fresh. Clever! okay nice and the Red O
nion tastes much better
you like onions? but kissing you after eating onion so what does that mean there are no kisses
today yes finish I lack some one cleaning up the kitchen so
shall I call the maid yes Punchi! there she is! our little maid our little mermaid our little
mermaid she will be making more of a mess than me normally you use lime but since I only have
lemon that's also doing the trick as you can see it's not very easy to mix all
of it with a spoon so just take your hand that's also
the proper Sri Lankan way because
you can really squeeze all of it nicely together and it just gives a good mix and a much better
taste afterwards and then don't forget the most important part
about cooking tasting it before you serve it I think it's good because it makes my hand
wobble like the Sri Lankans do so it looks like she's bored so maybe I'll go out and
play with her while you're cooking is that okay yeah yeah all right let's open you let's
go and play where's the ball? the ball I don'
t know ah maybe it's here [dog barking] come on [dog toy squeeking] she's happy out there it's always nice to
see her happy you know very much it's the best if we stay somewhere where she can just
be outside roam around we don't have to be scared that she get run
over by a car yes because we never have to be scared that she runs away she always stays
you happy dog huh I wish my husband would be that happy with
just a squeaky ball well you got the squeaky balls to be happy
[laughs] are you gonna
squeak if I press them [laughs] is extra chilli for Dylan who likes it hot
that's why he's married to me [Music] [Music] [Music] [Music] [Music] [Music] [Music] [Music]
