Poondu kulambu / Garlic curry is an authentic South Indian curry . I have a great love towards this recipe . Atleast weekly once this curry will be on our menu . This is so easy to prepare and a good lunch box item . And I am sure everyone is aware of the medicinal properties of garlic .The best pair for this tamarind based curry are papads . And also any mild stir fry like Cabbage poriyal / fry , Snake gourd Kootu or Carrot beans stir fry will be a good combo to this spicy tangy curry . Earlier I have posted the version using tomatoes and without coconut . Check the related posts for the detailed recipes . Lets see the preparation of this mouth watering curry…
Milagai chutney is a common South Indian side for tiffins . This really goes well with hot soft idlis and crispy dosas. Pearl onions / Sambar onions are preferably used but its so rare in my place so I used big onion . My mom generally don’t use onion and tomato to this spicy chutney and she grinds using a manual grinding stone ( ammikal ) . I too sometimes prefer without onion and tomato . In that case you should soak the chillies in hot water for 10 mins and use some water to grind to a smooth paste . Sesame oil gives a nice flavour and is highly recommended as it reduces the spiciness . I love the combo of coconut chutney or sambar with this spicy side . Try this hot chutney with your idlis , sure its a comforting side for all spicy lovers…
