    Sukku kuzhambu recipe | Sukku milagu kuzhambu

    February 19, 2013 by Raks Anand 33 Comments / Jump to Recipe

    Sukku kuzhambu is very appetising and tasty tamarind based gravy for rice. With dry ginger, it has a very good effect in our tummy inducing hunger as well as digestion.

    sukku milagu kuzhambu

    I always love different kind of tangy, spicy kuzhambu recipes. Like my Poondu Kuzhambu, Brinjal pepper kuzhambu, karuveppilai kuzhambu…

    Sukku kuzhambu also I loved a lot. It's very appetising and good for us to include sukku – Dry ginger in our diet.

    sukku kuzhambu

    I had some sukku powder passed to me by my FIL. It helps a lot for digestion. So when Aj's classmate friend mom (Raji) told this recipe, I wanted to try it out immediately.

    So tried this and loved it a lot. The sukku smell is not over powdering in this kuzhambu, just very mild and very tasty.

    I have used sukku powder, but you can also use a piece of dry ginger itself if you have some.

    sukku milagu kuzhambu

    Method

    1. Extract tamarind juice and dilute with water to make it 2 & ½ cups. Set aside. Grind coconut, pepper and sukku with little water until smooth.
    grind

    2. Heat a kadai with oil and temper with mustard followed by fenugreek seeds. Add half of curry leaves. After that, add cubed onion and garlic. Fry until it turns slightly pinkish. Add chopped tomatoes and fry for a minute.

    saute

    3. Mix the tamarind juice with ground mixture, sambar powder, turmeric and salt mean while. Add it to the kadai/ boiling vessel and bring to boil.

    coconut

    4. Simmer and boil for 10 minutes or until thick consistency reaches. Mix lastly with the curry leaves torn roughly.

    boil

    Enjoy this appetising kuzhambu with any kootu as accompaniment. I love to eat it rice. But can also be eaten with idli dosa as well.
