Sundakkai vatha kuzhambu recipe
I love tamarind-based Kuzhambu recipes. When it comes to homemade puli Kuzhambu recipes manathakali vathal kuzhambu, Appalam Kuzhambu and Onion Vatha Kuzhambu are some of my favorite kulambu varieties. I also love two versions Tamil Nadu hotel-style Kara Kuzhambu with and without coconut. Freshly ground kuzhambu masala without coconut gives the sundakkai kara kuzhambu an aromatic flavor.

how much puli should I use for the Kuzhambu recipe?
Though it is a puli kuzhambu (tamarind-based) recipe, the sourness for this particular Kuzhambu is from tamarind and tomatoes. The amount of tamarind depends on the sourness of the tamarind and tomatoes you use, so adjust the quantity according to the puli you use. Pulikaichal, puli aval, instant puli sadam are some of my tamarind-based dishes

What should the consistency of pull kuzhambu be?
In our home, we prefer slightly runny kara kuzhambu. Adjust the water according to the consistency you desire.
Can I skip the garlic in the Kuzhambu?
Garlic gives the Hotel flavor, so I add more. You can skip the small onion and garlic if you prefer a no-onion-no-garlic kulambu recipe. If you like garlic flavor, try Poondu Kuzhambu. Also, marandhu Kuzhambu and Milagu Kuzhambu are my other favorite garlic-based Kuzhambu.
