Poondu Kuzhambu / Garlic Kuzhambu

Poondu Kuzhambu, I use to prepare, is different from other kulambus / gravies. It is little thick in consistency, with the oil floating on top and with added tanginess and really it tastes yummy Smile with tongue out. Garlic has lot of medicinal properties and so adding it in our daily food is good for our health.

Cooking Instructions:
Peel the skin of the garlic and trim the top edge of the garlic. Heat oil in a deep pan and add garlic pods to it and fry till it slightly changes golden brown ( Do not burn it, so keep an eye on the garlic pods while you fry!)  in color in medium flame.

Now add this mixture to the pan and when it starts to boil well, reduce it to medium flame. Let it boil continuously in medium flame, and when it reduces to half of the size, the raw smell will subsides and the oil starts to float on the top. Switch off the flame at this time and transfer it to a serving bowl. Tangy and yummy Poondu Kulambu is ready to serve!
You can refrigerate and use this Poondu Kuzhambu even for a week!

Event for the Month of September and the Theme is Chicken

I thank all my blogger friends first of all, who wished for my son Amiitesh's birthday and he enjoyed a lot on that day with all my relatives and particularly during the function time. Amiitesh got up by 5.15am itself on that day and went to bed only by 11pm and he don't want to miss to play with his grand parents and uncles. He was very eager to cut the cake from the time we received it from the bakery. He looked so smart on that day and we had a blast of happiness. He was more eager to see the gift packs he received for his birthday and started playing with them immediately as soon as we unpack the gifts.
