Thengai varuthu Aracha kuzhambu is one of the common kuzhambu varitety many of us make especially from Southern part of Tamilnadu. The roasted coconut always give a unique flavour to the kuzhambu. We can add multiple veggies and enrich this kuzhambu. A very simple to make kuzhambu, and it tastes delicious. Relish this yummy kuzhambu with rice!

 

In Nagercoil, Thengai Araitha Kuzhambu is one of the common and popular Kuzhambu variety. Like Keralites, Nagercoil, Kanyakumari people also use lots of coconut in their day to day diet. In Thengai Araitha Kuzhambu, The veggies are cooked in tamarind based gravy which predominately flavored with Coconut, red chili and fenugreek. Here, in Thengai Varuthu Aracha Kuzhambu also, coconut is the main ingredient. We need to nicely fry the coconut till it is golden brown and grind it with other spices. Frying coconut, releases oil which then ground in mixer to add a nice flavor to the kuzhambu.

 

This Thengai Varuthu Aracha Kuzhambu, is served with hot steaming rice along with Stir-Fry veggie. I personally like Brinjal Stir Fry or Ladies Finger Stir Fry.

If you like this kuzhambu, you can also try:

1. Ulli Thengai Araitha Kuzhambu
2. Keerai Kuzhambu
3. Nellai Puliyita Poricha Kuzhambu
4. Iru Puli Kuzhambu
5. Ulli Theeyal

Notes

  1. We can just use shallots (Baby Onions) and make this yummy kuzhambu instead of mixed veggies. 
  2. Adjust the spice levels according to your needs
  3. Instead of channa dhal and coriander seeds, we can also use 3 teaspoon thur dhal and fry it and grind it along with fried cocunut and red chillies. This will give us another good taste of this kuzhambu.

You are frying the same ingredients as for sambar and coconut is an addition.
Instead, try this- fry vendayam-perungayam, perungayam, urad dal, chillies, sesame and coconut! The taste will be different! My mother in law taught me. She is from Tirunelveli!
