Poondhu kuzhambhu | Garlic kulambhu is an authentic chettinad recipe . Though i have tasted this many times at my friend’s place during my school days, never know how to make poondu kuzhambhu. When a reader asked for this recipe i casually asked my sister whether she knows this recipe of chettinad poondu kuzhambhu she immediately told the recipe . I tried it few days back and enjoyed with rice and Kootu. We love to have any coconut based curry or kootu for spicy gravies.

Today's Special – Misal Pav | Stepwise recipe from scratch
can we add coconut to the " grind" items
You can add, but add little. too much will spoil the taste
Can we add cooked toor dhaal/ moong dhaal to this ??
No, the taste will not be good. Instead you can boil toor dal and nicely cook it . Mix with rice and ghee and make this gravy asan accompaniment
very nice everybody in my home enjoyed it.
just made it. it was simply superb. wish i could post a picture of it too. hats of to you jeyshri
