Back home, mom makes poondu kuzhambu in a different way.She used to make fresh masala, and no tomatoes. Am so lazy to do all those things..hence, I feel this version is easy and comfortable.There is no compromise in the taste,this kuzhambu is a perfect match for idli and dosa too!
IngredientsGarlic -25 cloves
Small Onion/shallots-12
Tomato(big)-1
Green chilli-1
Chilli powder-1teaspoon
MTR Madras Sambar powder-1 teaspoon
Turmeric powder-1/4teaspoon
Tamarind juice-1/4cup
Coconut paste-3tablespoons
Mustard seeds-1/2teaspoon
Few curry leaves
Sugar-1/2teaspoon
Salt-to taste
Oil
Method Peel the onions and garlic, chop them into thin slices. Chop the green chillies and tomato.
Heat oil in a pan, make the tempering with mustard seeds. Then add the chopped garlic,onion,green chilli and sauté them for 2-3 minutes, add the tomatoes and cook them for a while.
