cabbage, snake gourd, beans, avarai, banana flower, cluster beans. can even try two or three veg., together.
heard that capsicum and plantain can go with this usili, but have not tried.

Also, I read in a magazine abt a diff., usili.
Grind pottukadalai, red chillies with jeera and salt. Add little water, dont make a liquid paste. It should be like steaming dhal.
Boil the veg., with salt and turmeric. Do seasoning, add veg., mix the above semi solid paste, mix well, but make sure that the paste dont get mashed with veg.,

This sounds like and interesting short cut, especially if you dont have time for soaking the dhall.
Will try it out.
