puli kuzhambhu with dry coconut recipe – puli kulambu with kopparai thengai recipe – Sambar or kuzhambhu Recipes

After Dabeli masala I left with some Dry coconuts. I was looking for ways to use it. I didn’t want to try any Chutney as I can taste oil in dry coconut. So I thought of Puli kulambu. I didn’t have any vegetables which is suitable for Puli kulambu so I added onion and garlic but you can add any of your favourite vegetable. Also I have used Coconut oil for seasoning instead of normal Gingerly oil. It tasted diff and nice too. Do try this slight variation and enjoy
