Ellu | sesame seeds health benefits

Ellu, also known as sesame seeds, has several health benefits. It's rich in essential nutrients like iron, calcium, magnesium, and phosphorus. Sesame seeds may contribute to heart health, as they contain unsaturated fats and antioxidants.

I love tamarind-based Kuzhambu recipes. When it comes to homemade puli Kuzhambu recipes poondu kuzhambu, Appalam Kuzhambu, enna kathirikai kuzhambu, and Onion Vatha Kuzhambu are some of my favorite kulambu varieties.  I also love Saravana Bhavan hotel-style kara Kuzhambu.

Yes, you can use homemade tamarind paste. If you are using store-bought tamarind paste, adjust the quantity according to its soreness.
