Arai Puli Kuzhambu
An authentic, traditional Kuzhambu variety of Thanjavur Brahmins. This name as it is neither sambar nor vathakuzhambu Vathakuzhambu with 1/2 the quantity of tamarind that for vathakuzhambu.
Sambar without dhal. Hence in my mom's family they call its as Rendukettan Kuzhambu!!! Since I am settled in Tirunelveli and my MIL is from Kerala, some how I totally missed this recipe.
