Vatha Kulambhu/Vatral Kulambhu



This post has been lying in my draft since 7 months,finally I posted it today.Usually this kulambhu is made with sun dried berries such as black night shade and turkey berry or veggies which is called as vatral.This kulambhu is a one such authentic recipe tastes very well with piping hot rice along with some kootu and pappads.

This is my mom's recipe and she always adds little coconut along with the spices while grinding for the kulambhu to get an extra taste and it can be made with out coconut also.

Today's recipe is with the black night shade(manathathakkali vatral) and doesn't need onion and garlic also,here goes the recipe..............

Rava Kozhukattai/Rava Pidi kozhukattai

For the alphabet R,I decided to make something with rava aka semolina.But I have blogged most of the  rava recipes  in Tamil cuisine. When I was going through the cook books and hand written recipes,rava kozhukattai caught my attention. The method of making this kozhukattai is same as  upma kozhukattai ,whereas rava/semolina is used instead of rice.Both sweet and savory versions can be made with semolina.As we had lot of sweet dishes in the previous week I made the savory version.Soon share the sweet version.This is a great option for evening snack and I served with coconut chutney.Lets move on to the  recipe............                                                                                          ...
