Karivepillai/Curry leaves Kulambhu in Simple Everyday Thali


Today's thali is a simple and comforting thali which we usually make it the next day of party food or festive food.
This is a very flavorful,slightly tangy kulambhu which aids digestion.
As we have a big curry leaves tree in our backyard,my mom makes it atleast every other week.But here in U.S curry leaves are so expensive I make it very rarely,instead I make Poondu(garlic) kulambhu often.
Last week end we had a birthday party and get together,had a heavy lunch and dinner.So next day we wanted to have a comforting food,made this kulambhu.
As I had little curry leaves,added coriander leaves along with the curry leaves,for my surprise it came out extremely delicious.

The menu is
  • White rice
  • Karivepillai Kulambhu(curry leaves kulambhu)
  • Tomato Rasam
  • Beans Poriyal(beans curry)
  • Chow-chow Kottu(chayote dhal)
  • Vathal(home made fryums)
  • Neer mor(Buttermilk)

Grind cumin seeds,pepper,fenugreek seeds along with red chilly powder,corainder powder and sambhar powder to a coarse powder.Then add the curry leaves,coriander leaves mixture and grind with little water.Finally add the sauteed shallots and garlic,pulse it.(don't make it like a fine paste).

Serve it with rice and poriyal,pappads.

Enjoy..................................

  • This kulambhu can be stored in the refrigerator for a week also.
  • Sometimes you may feel a slight bitter taste initially but once the flavors get incorporated it won't be there.
  • Using sambhar powder gives a very nice flavor but it can be substituted with chilly powder and coriander powder.
  • Care should be taken while roasting the spices,if it is roasted in a high flame it will end up in bitter taste.
  • Sometimes my mom fries whole red chilly and coriander seeds along with the spices and used instead of powders.
