Goddu kuzhambu

My mother in law is a great cook ,she prepares   tasty  food items, I learnt  many dishes  from her . This  kuzhambu  is little similar to pitlai  but no  roasting , grinding  of  spices , coconut  etc. Easy and tasty kuzhambu .We use green sundaikai, karunai kizhangu, black chana ( karuppu kothukadalai- soaked and boiled) ,
Ingredients :
 Thur dal  - 3 tsp ( cooked  and mashed)
 Tamarind - 1 gooseberry  size ( soak it and extract the juice  for 2 - 2 1/2 cups)
 Sambar powder - 2 tsp
 Salt - to taste
Hing - little
Curry leaves -6
 Grated  Coconut -  3 tsp
 Coconut oil - 2 tsp

To  Temper :
 Kadugu - 1 tsp
 Chana dal ( kadalai  paruppu ) - 1 tsp
 Method :
       In a kadai ., take coconut oil  and temper mustard seeds, chana dal , hing , grated coconut , curry leaves putting one by one  and  fry ,add the cooked karunai kizhangu / pachcha sundai kai(  slit the  sundal kai little  at the mouth side) / cooked black chana  and  roast for  2 minutes  , then add tamarind juice , sambar powder and salt .Allow to boil/ cook for 15 to 20 minutes till the raw smell of tamarind, sambar powder goes.Now add the cooked , mashed dal with the kuzhambu and  boil for  2 minutes to get the required consistancy . Now the    good aroma  filled   goddu kuzhambu is ready to serve with hot  rice .
