Cheeni Avarakkai Puli Kuzhambu with step by step pictures. This is made with Brinjal Urad dal and Rice Flour
Cheeni Avarakkai Puli Kuzhambu
This is a simple and delicious puli kulambu recipe which is made using dried vathal. We usually get dried cluster beans, dried chillies, dried brinjal, dried vadam from stores and keep it handy. Because when i dont have any veggies on hand, i can use them up and make a quick vatha kulambu or puli kulambu. This is one recipe which i learned from my mom, she makes it only with the dried cluster beans. But i had some onion and a piece of long variety green brinjal on hand so i used that also..
