Vendhaya Kuzhambhu /Fenugreek Tamarind Curry
Vendhaya kuzhambhu is very tasty and I am sure everyone loves it. Its my brother's fav dish and whenever I make I think of him only. Mom makes a big bowl of this kulambhu and stores it for him. He can eat this for 7 days, he is that mad about this one. It stays for a long time since its allowed to get thick in oil. This goes well with all kinds of kootu and fry. I always make this with sorakkai kootu(bottle gourd) and its a match made in heaven huraay!!!!! well def try this out.
