Instructions for Chinna Vengaya Puli Kuzhambu Recipe (Spicy Tangy Baby Onion Curry)

    1

    To begin making Chinna Vengaya Puli Kuzhambu Recipe, heat oil in a saucepan; add mustard, fenugreek, curry leaves and allow them to crackle. Add the onions and saute until the onions are slightly tender and browned. 

    2

    Once the onions are roasted add the tamarind water, 1/2 cup of water, sambar powder and salt. Bring the mixture to a boiling point. Then simmer the mixture for about 15 minutes. The Kuzhambu should be of pouring consistency, as well as should have a slight pulpiness to it. Adjust the thickness by adding a little water if required. But personally we like it a little pulpy.

    3

    A lot of families along dissolve a teaspoon of rice flour into the water and add it as a thickening agent to the Chinna Vengaya Puli Kuzhambu. But personally I feel that the Kuzhambu tastes delicious in its original form when it thickens naturally when simmered.

    4

    Once done, turn off he heat and the Chinna Vengaya Puli Kuzhambu is ready to be served.

    5

    Serve the Chinna Vengaya Puli Kuzhambu along with hot with plain rice and a vegetable. It also be savored with rava dosa'sragi idli's and even sometimes a slice of bread or parathas.
