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.

Cauliflower Masala/Gobi Masala - No tomato Version

Coming to day 2 recipe for the blogging marathon#62,themed under no tomato gravy is a rich and creamy cauliflower aka gobi masala. As my family loves cauliflower,so it appears in my kitchen frequently in some form.I tried this cauliflower curry without tomato and used yogurt and cashews paste.The result was such an awesome and creamy curry. The chilly powder I used was bit spicy so the curry was in the spicier side so squeezed some lemon juice in the end.So adjust the spice level according to your family preference.Lets move on to the recipe.........                                                                                                                     ...
