Vathal Kuzhambu is a gravy prepared with tamarind water and little spices. This Vathal kuzhambu recipe is mostly served along with Sambar, Rasam and curd in TamilNadu full meals. I used sun-dried sundakkai / Turkey berry and it is available in all supermarkets. Sundakkai also has a lot of medicinal values. It kills worms in our stomach, helps in proper digestion, control diabetes etc as it has a slightly bitter taste. This Sundakkai vatha kulambu is a traditional and authentic recipe of TamilNadu.

Notes

Tips for Vathal Kuzhambu Recipe

1. This kuzhambu tastes good with sesame oil, you can use other oils too.
2. Other vathals like Maa vathal, Mithuk vathal and Manathakkali vathal can also be used.
3. This sundried sundakkai vathal has salt in it so be careful while adding salt.
4. For a simpler version, you can skip, 'To Roast and Grind' part, add Sambar powder, chilli powder with tamarind extract and go ahead.
5. Never skip jaggery at the end, it gives an extra punch and taste to the vathal kuzhambu.
