Vatha Kulambhu/Sunda Vathal Kulmabhu/Sun Dried Turkey Berry in Tamarind Sauce


For the day 2 of Blogging Marathon #60,themed under family recipes is Vatha Kulambhu.Vatha kulambhu can be made in many ways with or with no onion and garlic,freshly ground spice powder or sambar powder.
Already I have shared my mom's version of no onion garlic vatha kulambhu with manathathakkali vathal.
Coming to today's version its made with sun dried turkey berry(sunda vathal) and mango(maa vathal).Also it is made with sambar powder.As we prefer our vatha kulambhu to be on the thicker side I made it slightly thicker.Consistency is personal preference and also the addition of maa vathal is optional.
My mom used a little bit of red chilly powder along with sambar powder to get a nice color.I got my last batch of mom's homemade vathal during my India trip.While making this kulambhu I was so emotional and going to miss her home made goodies.Lets move on to the recipe...

    • After adding all the spice powder mix it well and keep the flame low to avoid burning of powders.
    • Here I cut the onion and garlic into 2 as the size was slightly bigger.If the size is small you can add it as such.

    Sweet Adai /Inippu Adai

    Today is the final day for the Cooking Carnival in mega Blogging Marathon edition ans I like to end the series with a sweet note. Coming to the recipe its a sweet adai which is often made in our households for quick neivedhyam for offering to god..So many variations can be made using wheat flour,maida,ragi flour and sometimes with semolina. Today's version I used both wheat and all purpose flour along with rice flour.Since sweetener is used to make the batter this adai needs to be cooked in a medium flame,otherwise the color will turn dark.Here I used jaggery,even palm sugar and brown sugar can also be used.                                                                                                                                                                                                                      Sweet Adai/Inippu Adai                                                                         Basic Information    Pre
