Aachi Vathakulambu Masala is a spice blend for vatha kuzhambu, the dark, tangy tamarind curry of Tamil Nadu made with vathal, sun dried turkey berries, manathakkali or sundakkai fried in oil. Red chilli, coriander and fenugreek give the bold, slightly bitter base, mustard and asafoetida add sharpness, and rice flour with Bengal lentils thickens the gravy, with a touch of sugar to round off the sourness. It is a curry that keeps well and tastes better the next day. Find more Tamil curry mixes in our Kulambu Masala range.
How to use it
Following the pack, heat 2 tbsp of sesame oil in a pan and add ½ tsp of mustard, 2 large chopped onions or 12 to 15 peeled shallots, 1½ medium chopped tomatoes, 10 garlic cloves and curry leaves, and saute well. Add 1 tbsp of oil fried vathal and saute, then 1 tbsp of Aachi Vathakulambu Masala. Soak a lemon sized ball of tamarind in hot water for 10 to 15 minutes, squeeze out the pulp and mix it in, then add salt to taste. Simmer until the gravy thickens slightly, add fresh coriander and serve with steamed rice. The pack says this serves 6 to 8.
