Garlic, Onion Puli Kulambu (Kuzhambu)

Normally I do Puli Kulambu with Sambar podi. I saw this recipe in one of the cookery show for vatha kulambu. It is done from scratch. No vegetable at home so used garlic and small (sambar) onion. Everytime when I do puli kulambu I make it the previous day. It always taste good the next day. This Kulambu lasts for longer time even without keeping it in fridge. The taste was so great! The extra effort definitely worth it
