Malli Kuzhambu Recipe – Coriander Seeds Kulambu

June 6, 2014 By Radhika 6 Comments

Malli Kulambu Recipe

This Malli kuzhambu or Kothamalli vidhai (coriander seeds) kuzhambu is spicy, tangy and absolutely lip smacking. Everyone must have Kulambu recipes like this one in their repertoire to save the day especially when they do not have any vegetables at home.

This malli kuzhambu is perfect to take for long trips or travels as it does not spoil easily. Like Seeraga Kulambu, this kulambu also does not have any vegetables and I learnt this also from my Mom-In-Law.

Kothamalli Vidhai Kuzhmbu Recipe

I love kulambus that uses freshly ground masalas as the flavor and aroma is simply awesome. Like some kulambus, this one also tastes even better on the next day than on the day you prepare this. My MIL makes this so well and I wanted to make it pretty badly and share it with you all.

So when she visited me last month, I got a chance to learn this from her and I felt quite heady while I was making this Kulambu as the aroma was increasing my appetite manifold. I’m sure you will also like it as much as I do.

Pathiya Kulambu Recipe

Note before making Malli Kuzhambu:

  1. The tamarind used in this kulambu has to be a bit high. So use the quantity that will equal 2 Indian lemons.
  2. Roast the whole dry spices over low flame taking care not to burn them.
  3. Use gingelly oil for the traditional aromatic kulambu. If you are not comfortable with the aroma, use any unflavoured vegetable oil.

    What a gorgeous fiery red that is Radhi. And the fragrance of coriander seeds is too good to resist. This must have made an awesome meal with some hot rice and vadam

    What a lovely tasty dish, would love to try it out. But, is the Vengaya Vedagam a must for the taste to be great, or can I give it a miss? Thanks,
    Regards from Malaysia
