Notes

1. You can add sambar powder instead of red chili powder if you want.
2. Originally, for making puli kuzhambhu, fennel seeds (sombu) are used instead of cumin seeds. Since I don’t like the flavor much I added jeera.
  • Chop the drumsticks into medium size pieces. Cut the brinjals into four.
  • Peel the shallots and finely chop the tomato.
  • In a wide vessel, take the tamarind extract(taken from 1 medium gooseberry-sized tamarind).
