Vendakkai Puli Kuzhambu Recipe

Vendakkai Puli Kuzhambu Recipe is from my neighbor.The version amma makes is with lots of coconut and the gravy is very thick.Though I love any tangy version pulizhambu recipes, this one is my most favorite.

I have tasted my neighbors pulikuzhambu many times especially when I was having gugu in me.When I asked her the recipe she mentioned about the kuzhambu milagai thool she uses for many south indian kuzhambu and gravies which gives it the unique taste.This time she gave a pack of that homemade kuzhambu milagai thool so used it for making this pulikuzhambu, wow it was so good.We all licked the bowl and our fingers clean 🙂 yes it was that yum! I’ve got the recipe for that multipurpose powder too,will try and post it soon.

My Notes:

  • Add a cup of water to tamarind and make a thin extract.
  • I recommend adding gingelly oil(nallennai) , if you don’t have then go ahead with your usual cooking oil.
  • Keeps well for 1 day even without refrigeration.
  • I used kuzhambu milagai thool, you can use sambar powder instead.
  • You can even add any other vegetable that you use four puli kuzhambu.
