Appalam vatha kuzhambu

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.
Ingredients:
 Appalam - 3 medium size ( make  each of them  into 8 pieces)
Tamarind juice - ( 2 goose berry size  - soak and take extract for  3 cups)
 Samabar powder  - 2 tsp
 Salt - to taste
 Thur dal - 1 tsp
 Vendayam (methi seeds) - 1/2 tsp
 Kadugu (mustard seed ) -  1/2 tsp
 Gingelly oil- 4 tsp
 Curry leaves - 5 / 6
Hing  - 1 tsp ( powder / katti perungayam )

Method:
     Take a kadai  pour the gingelly oil and temper kadugu ,  thur dal  ,vendhayam,( fry dal and vendhayam till golden colour) curry leaves  add hing then   add the  pieces  of appalam  and  roast them . 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.
