Vazhakkai Kara Kuzhambu or Plantain (Kaccha Kela) Kulambu is easy, spicy and delicious kuzhambu recipe goes well with steamed rice.   I liked kuzhambu or kulambu but I make it rarely as DH doesn't eat so once in a blue moon just to satisfy my kulambu craving I do make it and this time I made this vazhakkai or plantain kara kuzhambu and it's similar to Chettinad style so this kulambu is on spicy side.



Like any kuzhambu this one too taste more delicious if we eat after couple of hours as all the spices and tamarind blends well together and enhance the taste well. If you like you can reduce chili powder and dry chili to suit your needs as this kulambu is spicy how kara kulambu suppose to be.
