This is a recipe I got from my collage/hostel room mate friend…GAYATHRI..!! When I was doing my DECE in Trichy,she was one of my close friend. Her native is Mettur and mine is Salem, so we used to travel together when holidays come.
As we will be longing for home cooked food,we used to pack for a day when we leave our home. And likewise once she brought this in an ever silver sembadam(container with lid), her mom stuffed as much as she can that could come enough for the room mates..We started digging in,almost 5 of us had enough of it and it was not spoilt for the next day too!
Taste wise it was very nice and flavorful!! So as I knew it was nice,I called her 2 days back and asked her the recipe,she mailed it to me and I tried today. The recipe is a fusion of this kuzhambu and pulikaichal.
She was kind enough to type the way I do,all the tabular columns she did and sent me,Gayathri,so sweet of you.🤗.

mam, pls give the recipe to make vathakulambu…. since i am a bachelor, i like to cook on my own. thank u.
pls give the instsructions to make vathakulambu
Mam. ..u said to add enough water…how much cup of water to add including tamarind extract?
waiting for ur reply mam 🙂
I have no exact measure renuka, 2 & 1/2 cups may be.
i tried this..but it gives bitter taste….i think adding powder befre itself gives bitter taste
If you balance spice, tamarind properly, it wont be bitter. Still, if you want, reduce the powder little bit.
