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.

40 mins

Tamarind – 1 small
lemon size  or 4 tblspn of tamarind pulp
Vatha Kuzhambu Podi- 3 tblspn or to taste
