Tirunelveli kara kulambu recipe is very famous in down south Tamilnadu. There are different types of Kara Kuzhambu and People often call this as puli kulambu.
I love puli Kuzhambu and there are different ways of doing puli kulambu. So I always try different kulambu with different spices. I have tried the gravy with Thuvar dhal (Jackfruit seeds with drumstick gravy). It was really different and tasty. So when I heard this combo from my mum I requested her to make it. Here you go with the recipe. I will be away for a short trip to China will not be having access to facebook and blogger.. will be back soon.. So response to your questions or comments might be delayed.
