fineleg Posted October 13, 2007 Share Posted October 13, 2007 Thank you, thank you. Regarding Vatral kozhambu, again use less water, more tamarind, extra spices to make it hot. i believe you can even add some peanuts to VK if you are making it Again from the web: Ingredients: 1 tsp tamarind paste, dissolved in 4 cups warm water 2 tsp sambar powder 1 tsp tuvar dal 1-2 tsp dried marathakkali berries 4-5 dried chundakkai 1 tsp mustard seeds 2 dried red chillies, broken in half 1/2 tsp red chilli powder (optional) 3/4 tsp freshly ground black pepper 2-3 tsp oil 4-5 curry leaves pinch of asafoetida 2 tbsp roasted de-skinned peanuts 1 tbsp rice flour or cornflour (for thickening the gravy if required) Salt to taste Method: 1. Heat the oil in a pan and fry the dried berries for 30 seconds or so. 2. Add the asafoetida, dry red chillies, curry leaves, mustard seeds and tuvar dal to the oil and stir. Fry till the mustard seeds pop and the tuvar dal turns golden brown. The berries should be dark brown now, but be careful that they dont burn. 3. Add the sambar powder, ground black pepper and red chilli powder (if using) and stir. Then pour in the tamarind water. 4. If you are using the peanuts, drop those in as well and let the tamarind water boil for 15-20 minutes or until it has reduced by a third. 5. Mix the cornflour/rice flour with some water to make a pourable paste, and stir it into the kuzhambu. Add salt to taste. 6. Boil it for another 5 minutes, until it is the consistency you like.
