    Poondu Kuzhambu Recipe | Garlic Kuzhambu Recipe

    Poondu(Garlic) Kuzhambu is one of my favourite among all the kuzhambu any tangy curry will always be my favourite. Garlic is a very good source to reduce the cholesterol level it also controls the blood sugar and blood pressure level. I feel it is difficult to consume garlic raw so I add garlic in almost all the gravies and Sambar and this Kuzhambu is delicately prepared using garlic, I you are a garlic lover you will definitely enjoy this Kuzhmabu. It is very easy to prepare as we need to just sauté onions and tomatoes and cook in a tamarind based gravy.

    Poondu Kuzhambu goes very well with Steamed Rice and just Papad and any Vegetables stir Fry .Some of the stir Fry recipes which I have already posted are Beansstir Fry, Cabbage Stir Fry, Greens stir Fry, Banana blossom Stir Fry, Cauliflowerstir Fry.
