Iyengar milagu kuzhambu

No garlic pepper kuzhambu is traditionally prepared in Iyer and Iyengar households. It is a good postpartum recipe. If you prepare this podi, busy new moms can make this kuzhambu in no time.

TIPS TO ROAST RED CHILLI

I would recommend roasting the red chilli along with other ingredients. Always roast the whole red chilli. if you remove the chilli cap, seeds might turn bitter while roasting. remove the cap just before grinding.

Tamarind – tips to note

always deseed and remove the fiber. Make sure the tamarind pieces are in smaller sizes. A big piece won’t cook through. Roast in low flame. Perfectly roasted tamarind helps for a longer shelf life.

SHELF LIFE OF pepper kuzhambu podi

Cool the podi completely then store it in an airtight container.  You can store the premix at room temperature or in the fridge. Podi stays good for months at room temperature. Always use a dry and clean spoon for a longer shelf life

WILL THE PODI TASTE SPICY?

 I used Karnataka red chilli.. Adjust the red chillies according to your spice. My version of milagu kulambu podi is not spicy. It is a kids-friendly spice.

PULSE and grind THE PODI

I would recommend pulsing the podi a few times for the perfect grainy texture. Mix well after each pulse. after the podi turns to a coarse texture grind it to your desired texture.

Why curry leaves powder

Here I buy curry leaves once a week so I buy 2/3 packets sometimes there might be more left so I dry them in the microwave and powder them. I used that not the karuveppilai podi. Instant of curry leaves powder you can saute curry leaves with other ingredients.
