#kozhambu

[tamil-culture-is]

tamil culture is seeing practically every food item (kozhambu, kootu, etc) being passed off as "curry" in subtitles (oh god and dosai as pancake i can't even)

yh it's like... why?? sobs also dosai is nothing like a pancake... they don't even taste remotely similar...

[tambrahmragecooks]

Roast in a little oil:

Scraped Coconut

Red chillies

Fenugreek seeds (just a few seeds unless you want the morkozhambu to taste as bad as a Guinness)

Chana dal

1. Grind this to a fine paste and add to curds that have been violently beaten along with salt.

2. Sprinkle that chemical warfare agent asafoetida and curry leaves to this.

3. Temper in coconut oil, mustard seeds, very few fenugreek seeds, sauté otherwise useless vegetables such as pumpkin / Bangalore Katthrikai / lady’s finger until soft and add to the curd mixture.
