Vendhayakeerai Karakulambhu/Fenugreek leaves in Tamarind Sauce


When I was watching Revathi Shanmugam's cookery show she mentioned about the kara kulambhu using methi aka vendhayakeerai.
As we make sambar and kootu out of methi leaves and making karakulambhu sounds interesting.So wanted to try, fortunately I had a bunch of fresh methi leaves lying in the refrigerator,with no second thought I tried this kulambhu.
The kulambhu came out so delicious and flavorful with the fresh methi leaves/fenugreek leaves.I served the kulambhu with rice along with snakegourd kootu and papad.Here goes the recipe..................
