Restaurant style kulambu ( pavakkai/karela/egg/eggplant/okra)

 


After a long time, got a new recipe for kulambu kind of gravy. Thanks to my walking buddy! I wish I had learnt it early in my cooking career :-)
  • Add oil to tava, season with mustard, urad, methi, pepper, jeera/cumin
  • Add diced onions, garlic and one tomato, saute well
  • Add kulambu veggie...eggplant or karela or bindhi
  • In a mixie jar - add little onion, one small tomato, jeera/cumin, pepper, big jeera (saunf), few curry leaves, little cilantro, 4 cashews - Raw grind all of them together
  • Add the paste to the saute pan above, along with sambar powder and dhania powder
  • Add water, salt for the gravy and let all the masalas boil well
  • Add tamarind water and cook few more minutes
  • Add tiny jaggery and cook for a min and turn off
  • Goes well with Rice, dosas, idlis, adai.
  • Tempted to try making egg kulambu this style!!!!

Sujatha, recipe was great. With Unna's merparvai the kulambu came out well
