    Murukku Kuzhambu recipe, puli kuzhambu with murukku

    January 30, 2018 by Raks Anand 3 Comments / Jump to Recipe

    murukku kuzhambu
    Murukku kuzhambu is a tamarind based gravy just like any other puli kuzhambu, with left over murukku added to it.

    If you are familiar with appalam kuzhambu, then you should try this. I had no idea in making such kuzhambu, so when one of my reader friend (Auxilia) sent me this idea, I wanted to try it out. I had murukku left over that I made using the flour mami gave. Usually this is never left over at my place as I totally love noruks. That too thenkuzhal. I tried adding chilli powder to the mavu and made spicy thenkuzhal earlier. I had that in stock, so wanted to try before I finish it. Check out my potato murukku
    You can try even with leftover that turned soft or hard. I have added just murukku this time, but the friend suggested any vegetable can be added. I will sure try that next time. This was really good and flavourful. Ajwain (omam) so it added flavour to the kuzhambu. Do try it out sometime when you have leftover after Diwali.

      • In a kadai, temper with the items given under 'To temper' table.

      • Add sauteed onion tomato to the boiling kuzhambu.I broke roughly two large murukku.
