Sundakkai vatha kuzhambu recipe
I love tamarind-based Kuzhambu recipes. When it comes to homemade puli Kuzhambu recipes manathakali vathal kuzhambu, Appalam Kuzhambu, and Onion Vatha Kuzhambu some of my favorite kulambu varieties. I also love two versions Tamil Nadu hotel-style Kara Kuzhambu with and without coconut. Freshly ground kuzhambu masala without coconut gives an aromatic flavor to the sundakkai kara kuzhambu.
how much puli should I use for the Kuzhambu recipe?
. The amount of tamarind depends on the sourness of the tamarind so adjust the quantity according to the puli you use. Pulikaichal, puli aval, instant puli sadam are some of my tamarind-based dishes
Any substitute for Vathal?
Okra | ladies finger is one of our family’s favorite vegetables. I love using it for puli kuzhambu, Mor Kuzhambu, Iru puli kuzhambu, thenga aracha Kuzhambu. You can also use Brinjal, a drumstick. If you are out of veggies, sauté manathakkali vathal and add them at the end.
Can I use Sambar powder?
yes, you can use Sambar powder instead of Kashmiri Chilli powder + fresh ground. Freshly ground Kuzhambu masala gives an aromatic flavor to the Kuzhambu so I would recommend that for authentic iyer style kulambu
Color of the puli kuzhambu
the color of the hotel-style kara Kuzhambu totally depends on various factors like the Chilli powder you use, tamarind, etc. I have used Kashmiri Chilli powder
shelf life of Kuzhambu
puli-based Kuzhambu variety generally stays good for 3-4 days. You can store it at room temperature. Perfect travel food
What should be the consistency of pull kuzhambu?
In our home, we prefer thick kara kuzhambu. Adjust the water according to the consistency you desire.
can I add garlic to the Kuzhambu?
Yes, refer hotel sundakkai vatha kuzhambu. If you like garlic flavor try Poondu Kuzhambu. Also, marandhu Kuzhambu and Milagu Kuzhambu are my other favorite garlic-based Kuzhambu.
