Hi Jeevitha,
Thank you for writing. Please try and let me know your feedback.
I tried this recipe and it was fantastic. I like this site for three reasons:
1. All of them are typical south indian
2. Many recipes do not have onion or garlic in it
3. My mother’s name is Kamalam
Thank you Rama Raghu for your kind feedback.
Thank you very much for offering it to the readers. Great effort and Great Work.
Hello mam i made ur ennai katirikai kulambu for 1st time bt the kulambu s tasting very sour due to tamirand water wt can i do to avoid sour taste
If it is too sour, then you can increase the quantity of sambar powder and little more oil. Or reduce the quantity of tamarind.
