Chettinad Poondu Kuzhambu

Chettinad Poondu Kuzhambu

Chettinad Poondu Kuzhambu is prepared by cooking Garlic cloves in Tamarind gravy and other Indian spices. This spicy gravy is usually served as a side dish to Rice. It can be also served as a side dish to Idly and Dosa. We have tried many vegetarian recipes in Anjappar. I really love Anjappar Poondu Kuzhambu.
