    Vatha Kuzhambu, My
    favorite dish to make for lunch. Recently I have started to use my vathakuzhambu podi for making that and it was a huge success. I have already made a
    sundaikai vatha kuzhambu using that powder and it turned out really great.

    This is a vatha
    kuzhambu made with manathakkali vathal and I loved it so much. You can use
    chenarikkai vathal or any vathal as you like. Will share the different version
    soon. Keep checking my blog.

      I tried your recipe with the podi. It turned out amazing. The vatha kuzhambu was lip smacking good 😋. Your recipe is a keeper. Friends loved it too. Can’t wait to try with other vathals.
