I have already shared a version of mutton kulambhu with freshly ground spices but today's version is different one using the kulambhu milagai thool. As this kulambhu milagai thool has all the garam masala spices which normally used for the tempering so w don't use any extra spices for tempering If you don't have kulambhu milagai thool,use the redchilly powder and coriander powder,do the tempering with whole spices.This type of kulambhu is made especially in village sides to pair up with either rice or idly and dosa. Usually this kulambhu is made slightly watery to accompany with idly and very little coconut paste is added to give thickness to the gravy. Basic Information Preparation time 20 minutes Cooking time 40 minutes Serves 3-4 Ingredients Ingredient Quantity Mutton(with bones) 1 lb Onion/ vengayam(finely chopped) 1 (medium size) Tomato(chopped) 2 (medium size) Ginger&garlic paste 2 tsp Kulambhu Milagai thool 1 tbs Turmeric powder/ma...

I have already posted a version of milagu kulambhu  with no onion and garlic but today's version is slightly different.This recipe I noted down couple of weeks back in a T.V cooking show by Mrs.Revathy Shanmugam.This recipe used poppy seeds,fennel seeds and cashews to make the spice paste which was quiet new for me. As her recipe is always a hit and not complicated,so without any second thought I tried this for our weekend lunch.The original recipe calls for a tbs of  poppy seeds,as I ran out it used only half of it.The kulambhu came out so delicious and creamy,I paired up with beans poriyal and pappads.Lts move on to the recipe.................................................
