Vathakuzhambu is our all time favourite . We prepare vathakuzhambu with green vegetables .. called as Vendaya kuzhambu , with manathakkali / sunda vathal./ kathrikai vaththals... we used to prepare as vathakuzhambu . If we prepare with urad appalam it is appala kuzhambu , its a finger licking dish . During my school days , my friend's mom makes urad appalam , rice appalam in her house , She prepares vathakuzhambu with appalam in her house most of the times , It was tasty still I recollects aroma/ the taste and remembers the aroma and taste whenever I prepare this appala kuzhambu.

After that add the tamarind juice , sambar powder and salt . Allow to boil and make it half the quantity of what we added , we can smell a good aroma of appalam, gingelly oil , curry leaves .. Now we get the correct consistancy of the vatha kuzhambu . You can have the aroma in the whole house . We can enjoy with hot rice, arisi upma, curd rice ...with pazhaya sadham ,( a healthy diet ,,, now American agree that our pazhaya sadham is a healthy diet and they are selling in bottles) ...... the list is endless. We can give the whole world to the vathakuzhambu.
