Iru Puli Kuzhambu

A recipe made of both tamarind and buttermilk - a combination of Kaara kuzhambu and Moor kuzhambu. I got this different recipe from Subbu's Kitchen. Quite easy to make with a different flavour. You can add any sambhar vegetable to this. I've added Ladys finger and Cucumber to this.

Ingredients:

Okra - 6
Cucumber - 6 pieces
Tamarind extract - 1 cup
Butter milk - 1 cup
Oil
Salt
Mustard seeds
Curry leaves

To Grind:
Red chilies - 3-4
Fenugreek seeds - 1/4 tsp
Orid dhal - 1 tsp
Coconut powder - 1/2 cup


Procedure:

1. Dry roast the ingrediets for grinding and make a fine paste of it

2. Add oil and saute the vegetables (okra & cucumber) and add water and close the lid to cook.

3. When the veggies are half done add the tamarind extract and add salt

4. After the raw smell of tamarind is gone, add the grinded paste and let it boil for 2 mins.

5. To this add the buttermilk and let it come to a boil. Stop the flame immediately and add the mustard and curry leave seasoning to this.

6. Iru-Puli kuzhambu is ready to serve.
