ReplyDeleteIs this a masala kootu for some dish?
ReplyDeleteI did not understand its use.
Thakyou all for your lovely comments.
ReplyDeleteHi Abhi, we used to make puli kuzhambu at home, we use this powder to prepare it. I'm not sure what they call in Malayalam. It is a thick tamarind gravy used to mix with steamed rice.
You can also use this powder to thicken any kind of gravies:)
Great pic Mye!Isn't this Sambar powder..or similar shud I say?
ReplyDeleteHi Shri, Sambhar powder is different from kuzhambhu thool, this powder is used for making Kuzhambhu and other gravies.
ReplyDeleteDear Mye,
ReplyDeleteThanks a ton for posting Kuzhambhu thool... I will definitely be preparing this tomorrow itself....Thanks once again:)
Best,
Anusha
I made this kuzhambu powder and used it in prawn kulambu from your blog. Prawn kuzhambu was excellent. And Kuzhambu powder was very easy to make.
