Description
Vathal kolumbu can be prepared only with onion also. My husband favourite is vathal kolumbu.
| Ingredients | |
|---|---|
| 1 cup | Onion (chopped) |
| 1 T | Sundakai vathal |
| 1 T | Manathakali vathal |
| Lemon Sz | Tamarind |
| 2 tsp | Corainder powder |
| 2 T | Sambhar powder |
| 1 tsp | Turmeric powder |
| Oil – for sautéing | |
| 1½ tsp | Chilli powder |
| Salt to taste |
Instructions
First soak the tamarind and take pulp of it and keep aside. Take a pan with little oil and fry sundakai vathal and manathakali vathal and keep it seperately. Now add little more oil and fry onions (not too brown) with curry leaves , then sim the gas flame (to avoid burning of dry powders) and add all dry powders ( coriander, chilli, turmeric, sambhar) just mix all the powder with the onions and pour the tamarind pulp and salt and let it boil increase the flame little ,let the kolumbu boil and reduce little, to thicken .When it starts to get thicken in that stage add the sundakai and manathakali vathals and let it boil for sometimes till oil floats.
Notes
Vathals like mangai, katharikai can also be added in this kolambu. If we use mangai and kathirikai vathal, as soon as we pour tamarind juice we have to add these both vathal to cook .Even without any vathals only with onions we can prepare this dish.
Main thing we can cook and store in refrigerator for many days.
Nalennai (gingely oil) and small onions if used, very good taste
