Peoples' general tendency is to throw the skin of some of the vegetables and fruits. But actually there are lot of nutrients/minerals in many vegetables and fruits. Orange is one such fruit. The skin/peel of orange is also rich in citrus contents and it is healthy for us. We can use the skin/peel of the orange and prepare this very delicious Orange Peel Kuzhambu with citrus flavour.
Making this Orange Peel Kuzhambu quite simple, easy, yet so mouth-watering. I make regular Puli Kuzhambu or Vendayam-Omam Kuzhambu with Yellow Pumpkin / drumstick. That is quite simple. But we can enhance the the flavor by adding the peel of orange. We can also make Puli Kuzhambu with Narthangai (Citron). Citron fruit also has a dominant flavor and enrich a simple Puli Kuzhambu.
This Orange Peel Kuzhambu can be served with hot steaming rice along with a teaspoon of Sesame Oil. This kuzhambu will taste so good with Arisi Upma.
