KuzhambuMilagaiThool is nothing but a chilli powder mix with dal and other spices. Last year when my Bil visited us, My Mom-in-law has sent few packets of fresh Homemade MilagaiThool & Dhaniya powder
Followed by kuzhambu milgai thool/ Red chili powder, turmeric powder, coriander powder and garam masala powder, saute until the raw smell of masala goes
You can also use kuzhambumilagaithool. This is an easy Kondakadalai puli kuzhambu recipe without coconut / Brown channa gravy for rice in my MIL’s method
We use KuzhambuMilagaithool for this kuzhambu. Today's recipe is a popular south Indian Kuzhambu using Mochai or Avarai kottai, it is called as Val Beans or Field Beans or Dry Lima Beans in English
Puli Kuzhambu tastes best with sesame oil and homemade kuzhambumilagaithool & coriander powder. Once in a week I make puli kuzhambu without coconut & vegetables and if it is with veggies, it will be Vendakkai Puli Kuzhambu with coconut
