Poricha Kuzhambu

My mom made this when she visited and only then I realized how much I missed this simple dish. In my defense, it had been more than 5 years since I last tasted it so I totally forgot about it. This kuzhambu tastes yummy with ghee and rice.

Ingredients
Chana Dhal 3 tbsp
Urad Dhal 1 tbsp
Red Chillies (2/3 pieces)
Mustard and Asafoetida
Tamarind
Sambhar powder
Grated Coconut (3 to 5 spoons)
Curry Leaves

  1. Fry the dhals, chillies mustard and hing in oil till the dhals turn golden brown.
  2. Add tamarind water and sambhar powder.
  3. Bring to boil till the raw smell of tamarind goes away (like you do for regular sambhar).
  4. In the end add the grated coconut and curry leaves.
