    Karunai Kilangu Puli kulambu Recipe with step by step pictures. this is made with Karunai Kilangu, Rice Flour, Tomatoes and Shallots

    Karunai Kilangu Pulikulambu

    I love making Pulikulambu often. We make it with a whole lot of veggies and beans, but this gravy i learned from my mom. She makes it during pongal season, because we used to buy a lot of different veggies, yams and potatoes during that time. What i love in this gravy is the simple bland yam ordinary taste so heavenly when cooked this way.

    Ingredients for Karunai Kilangu Pulikulambu

    • Yam Ordinary/Karunai Kilangu - 10 cooked (Check here for method)
    • Shallots / Sambar Onion - 10 Peeled
    • Tomatoes - 1 large chopped
    • Garlic - 10 cloves peeled
    • Green Chilli - 2
    • Chilli Powder - 2 tsp
    • Coriander powder / Malli podi - 1 tblspn
    • Turmeric powder / Manjal podi - 1 tsp
    • Salt to taste
    • Sugar - 1 tsp
    • Tamarind Pulp - 2 tblspn (Click here for recipe)
    • Rice Flour / Arisi Mavu - 1 tblspn mixed with ¼ cup water 
    For Tempering:
    • Oil - 3 tblspn
    • Mustard Seeds / Kaduku - 1 tsp
    • Cumin Seeds / Jeerakam - 1 tsp
    • Urad dal / Ulundu Paruppu - 1 tsp
    • Hing / Asafoetida / Kaya podi - ¼ tsp
    • Curry leaves - 1 spring

    This gravy is spicy, sour and a little sweetish at the same time, which really makes it unique. I served it with some drumstick avial and papad and it was heavenly. I hope you will this simple gravy and let me know how it turned out.
