Puli kuzhambu recipe with step by step pictures. This is made with Brinjal, Drumstick & Onions
Pulikulambu
I have been waiting to share this recipe ever since i posted my mum's urundai kulambu recipe. I have been getting a lots of request from my readers to share this recipe. So here i am with the post. I make pulikulambu a little differently, i sometimes add ground spices or sometime roast and grind my spices. But this is how my mum makes her pulikulambu. This is a little spicy gravy, so a little gravy mixed with rice and had with papad is highly satisfying.
Ingredients for Pulikulambu
- Onions - 1 chopped roughly
- Brinjal - 1 chopped into cubes
- Drumstick - 1 cut into 2 inch pieces
- Chilli powder - 2 tsp
- Coriander powder / Malli podi - 2 tblspn
- Asafoetida / Kaya Podi / Hing - ½ tsp
- Tamarind Pulp - 3 tblspn mixed with 2 to 3 cups of water
- Mustard Seeds / Kaduku - 1 tsp
- Fenugreek Seeds / Methi / Vendayam - 1 tsp
- Dry Red Chilli - 1 cut into pieces
- Jaggery / Sugar - 1 small piece / 1 tsp
- Oil - 2 tblspn
- Salt to taste
- Rice Flour - 1 tblspn mixed with ½ cup of water
She always keeps recipes simple and easy. This is her basic puli kulambu recipe. From this recipe she turns it to different puli kulambu each time. Sometime she add cooked soy beans, cooked double beans, different veggies, only garlic, only shallots, etc. She made this for me on a special day during my stay in my mum's place, along with this she made urundai kulambu, drumstick leaves thoran, papad, beans poriyal and rice. It was a amazing meal. Can't wait to have more of it. I hope you will love this and let me know how it turned out for you, if you try it some day.
