Manathakkali Vathal Kuzhambu
Vatha Kuzhambu, My favorite dish to make for lunch. Recently I have started to use my vathakuzhambu podi for making that and it was a huge success. I have already made asundaikai vatha kuzhambu using that powder and it turned out really great.
This is a vathakuzhambu made with manathakkali vathal and I loved it so much. You can usechenarikkai vathal or any vathal as you like. Will share the different version
soon. Keep checking my blog.

I tried your recipe with the podi. It turned out amazing. The vatha kuzhambu was lip smacking good 😋. Your recipe is a keeper. Friends loved it too. Can’t wait to try with other vathals.Reply
