First time here. You seem to have an exhaustive collection of Indian recipes. I was looking for a vatha kulambu recipe while I chanced upon your site.

Hi Malar,

First time after my marriage i tried vathakuzambu by your guidance. It came out really well like the grand sweets taste of chennai. The credit goes to you . But i avoided to add fenugreek for seasoning Coz had a fear of bitterness.
Thanks a lot and i am trying your all recipes.

with Regards,
nithya

Its good but for vathu kosambu they use only gingalli (nalla Yenne ) oil for adding /mixing with rice to eat its taste so good with gingally oil.
try it out
thanks

Hello, Looks great but just a remark. The main difference between iyer and iyengar vatha kulambu is that in Iyengar kulambu, they put the sambar powder(or in this case the spices paste) first in the oil and then the tamarind juice. It brings out the flavor of the masala too. But the color of the kulambu will be a little darker. Just try and let me know how it turned out next time.

Cheers
