Karamani Kuzhambu Recipe

My Notes:

  • Boil well until raw smell of tamarind leaves.It may take time so simmer and you can go ahead with other works too.
  • The orginal recipe uses yam and black chana.You can also use one tomato while sauteing onion.
  • Cook karamani only until soft not too mushy as it is going to simmer for a good 15-20mins along with tamarind water.
  • This recipe uses grated coconut as such which is the specialty of the recipe.
  • Adjust consistency according to your liking.
  • It was a bit spicy so added a tsp of jaggery syrup and it was yummy.
