    Curry Leaves Kulambu is prepared with plenty of fresh curry leaves blended to a paste along with garlic and cooked to perfection.

    Curry Leaves Kuzhambu

    Curry Leaves are always a part of daily cooking in the Indian kitchen. We never use them as the main ingredient mostly. We tend to discard curry leaves in our food at times. I saw this recipe in chef Venkatesh bhat’s cookery show. From that day onwards I always wanted to try this recipe and did it finally.

    Curry Leaves Kuzhambu

    This kuzhambu is packed with tons of flavor. It has curry leaves and garlic both are the perfect combinations of flavor and health too. Garlic is very good for digestion and curry leaves are very good for hair. So come on ladies let’s give it a try !!

    Tastes best when served with white rice and any spicy fries.

    How to prepare Curry Leaves Kuzhambu

       1)     In a kadai add in a tsp of oil and saute the Curry leaves. Once they come to a shiny texture remove it and cool down
         2)In the same kadai sort the ½ cup garlic saute for 2 mins and remove to a plate.

    3)Now take the Curry leaves and Garlic to a blender and make it into a fine puree by adding a little water.

          4)  Take a kadai and add oil once the oil gets hot add in the jeera seeds and red chilli and add in onion and fry till they get transparent.
    5)Add in the chopped tomato and cook till they become mushy.
    6) Add in the Salt.
    7) Add in the Turmeric powder and chilli powder.
    8) Soak tamarind in water for about 15 mins and extract the tamarind water .Add in tamarind water.
    9) Wait till the water boils.
    10) Now add in the ground curry leaves and garlic paste.
    11) Simmer and cook till the kulambu consistency is reached.
     

    Tasty and healthy Karuvepilai Kulambu or Curry Leaves kuzhambu is easy to enjoy with hot rice.
