Kuzhambu Podi Recipe with step by step pics and a short Youtube video. If you like my video, please do SUBSCRIBE to my channel ‘Asmallbite’. This podi is nothing but South Indian style all-purpose chilli powder, also called as Kuzhambu Milagai Thool in the Tamil language. It is used to make a variety of veg and non-veg kuzhambu, gravies and even for poriyal, dry curries. This can turn a simple dish into an extraordinary one and any South Indian kuzhambu can be easily made with this powder. It is always good to use this powder in our daily cooking rather than the raw red chilli powder as it causes multiple digestive related problems when taken on a regular basis in our food.  This podi can be used to prepare Vendhaya Kuzhambu, Sundakkai Vatha Kuzhambu, Mochai Kuzhambu, Brinjal Fry, Baby Potato Fry and even added to Arachuvitta Sambar. Just 2 or 3 tsp is enough, the grinding part can be skipped, which makes our work simpler and it’s cool right!

Notes

Tips for Kuzhambu Podi Recipe

  1. Use fresh spices only. Also, clean the spices before roasting as it might have dust or stones.
2. You can also sundry all the spices separately for 2 to 3 hours and then grind it.
3. Ingredients can be dry roasted also, but I used little oil as it gives a bright color to the  Kuzhambu Podi Recipe.
4. Slow roast all the ingredients in low flame to avoid burning, else the podi tastes bitter.
5. Always roast red chilli along with other spices for even roasting, if roasted alone it gets burnt.
6. Even 1 small piece of turmeric stick or a few curry leaf sprigs can be added. But it is optional and can be added directly when cooking.
7. If doing in a very large quantity, you can grind it in a flour mill also.
8. The shelf life of this Kuzhambu Milagai Thool is 6 months. But, if refrigerated it can be used for 1 year when stored in an airtight and clean container without any moisture.
9. This podi can be used to prepare, Sundakkai Vatha Kuzhambu, Poondu Puli Kuzhambu, Curry leaves Kuzhambu, etc.
