Marundhu kuzhambu is a flavorful southindian rice accompaniment. The goodness of freshly-ground spices like Carom seeds, black cumin, pepper, with ginger and garlic is good for digestion. Marandhu Kuzhambu is a healthy post-partum recipe. Also Kuzhambu is a good home remedy for Cold, cough, flu etc.

Just when I thought of resuming blogging, self-quarantine life started. With my son staying at home I couldn’t spend much time for blogging. I recently posted Turmeric tea for immunity booster. This Marundhu Kuzhambu can also considered as a great home remedy for cold/cough/flu.

I am a big fan of Milagu Kuzhambu and Poondu Kuzhambu. I would say this marandhu Kuzhambu is a combination of two. After delivery Amma served me pathiya sapadu (a special postpartum diet). This Marundhu Kuzhambu was one which was prepared often.

Like any other puli Kuzhambu this Marundhu Kuzhambu tastes good the day after it is made.

Marundhu Kuzhambu tastes good when mixed with rice. Kuzhambu is also a tasty side for curd rice. Now a days whenever someone is sick in home I prepare this Marandhu Kuzhambu.

Though the name is  Marundhu(medicine) this Kuzhambu is not a cure for anything.Marundhu Kuzhambu is made using healthy ingredients which is good to be consumed during sick days. Pepper and ginger are very good for health but anything in surplus is might have side effects. Too much of pepper and ginger might make body hot, so do home remedy in moderation. If you are worried about immunitity and drinking  lots of ginger tea, then take cucumber and drink buttermilk to compensate.

1.  tsp of jaggery can be added to enhance the flavor and give a slight sweetness to the Kuzhambu
2. Adjust the spice level according to your taste
3. I generally add curry leaves while sauteeing onion but I forgot to add them when I took the video
4. Kuzhambu stays good for 2-3 days
