Pongal puli kuzhambu

Pongal puli kuzhambu recipe. This puli kuzhambu is done on the pongal festival by adding mixed vegetables in it. You can add any number of vegetables of your choice. I have added drumstick, potatoes and field beans. This kuzhambu usually tastes good the next day of the preparation. All the vegetables added has it’s own benefits and tastes good. You can make this as kuzhambu by adding more water and also as thick gravy by adding less water.

In the busy weekdays instead of doing kuzhambu and side dish separately you can make this type of gravy or kuzhambu and you will get all the benefits of it in less oil. Or else when you make porriyal or any type fries you add more oil. Jus to avoid it add all the veggies in kuzhambu and enjoy the whole nutrition of it.

My husband and my MIL liked this kuzhambu very much and we started doing this type off all veggies kuzhambu more often nowadays.

You can have this for idly, dhosa, pongal and rice. It tastes delicious do try and comment me.
