Plain Vatha Kuzhambu
Preparation Time: 20 minutes
Ingredients:
Onion - 2 (Small Onion will taste yum)
Sambhar powder – 3 table spoons
Tamarind ball - Lime size
Salt - As required
Dry Peanuts - 1 cup
Gingely oil - 10 table spoons
Mustard seeds - Little quantity
Curry leaf - few
Asafoetida - pinch
Preparation:
Pour little oil (not all specified above) in the Kadai and put in the mustard seeds. Once the mustard seeds has stopped sputtering, put in the curry leaves and add nicely chopped onions along with the dry peanuts in the Kadai. Put in Sambhar powder little by little and fry it nicely. Add oil when it gets dry and fry it till it turns a nice dark brown. Once it is fried, put in the tamraind water. Add salt as necessary and put in the asafoetida after 2 mins. Cover it with a lid and when the smell of sambhar powder goes away, the vatha kuzhambu is done. (The trick to yummy vatha kuzhambu is the use of gingely oil, frying sambhar powder along with the dry items and the most special thing is priya's kai pakkuvam which am sorry.. I cannot share the same even if i want to :P)
