Tamarind paste 2 tbsp or tamarind 1 lemon size
To temper
Hing - small piece
Red chillies

Vathakkuzhambu powder - 3 tsp
Or sambar powder
In a PC , heat 2 tbsp oil & temper in the given order.
The sambar powder must be fried a little to get the vathakuzambu flavour.
Add vegetables fry lightly.
Add tamarind paste, or tamarind extract ( must be 2 cups) & salt. Close and cook for 1 whistle.
After opening if you feel the kuzhambu is a little watery mix a tsp of rice flour in a little water,add & boil for few mins.
Can add vathals instead of veggies too.

Here I have added small whole ripe mangoes to Vathakkuzhambu!
