Hi, I have tasted this dish "rasavaangi" in one of our friends place when I was small. It's the name of this dish that made me get excited about it and I still remember just the name! Something more I know about it is, it is made using brinjals (guess I'm right ) Would anybody know the recipe for this dish? Kindly share the same here. Love, Malar

This is an easy kozhambu which tastes very good with rice.Also good for health considering the ingredients involved. Tamarind Kozhambu : Ingredients: 1 Onion-chopped 3-4 flakes Garlic-crushed 1 Green Chilli-cut lengthwise 1 tsp chopped Ginger 1/2 tsp -Dhania powder 1/2 tsp -Pepper powder 1/2 tsp -turmeric powder 1/2 tsp -chilli powder 1 lemon sized tamarind-made into pulp and extracted into 3 cups of water curry leaves 1tsp mustard seeds 1/2 tsp fenugreek seeds oil for seasoning salt to taste P.S: I have taken small quantities of chilli powder, pepper powder, green chillies. If you prefer hotter,spicier versions,you should increase the quantities of these. Season mustard and fenugreek.Once this splutters,add the onions,garlic,ginger,green chillies,curry leaves and fry these on medium heat until onion becomes translucent.Add all powders and fry for 2 minutes. Then add the tamarind extract.Add salt and allow this to cook.This should cook until the kozhambu becomes close to half the quantity. If the tamarind taste is too much,a spoon of powdered jaggery can be added at the end.This also gives it a very nice flavour.
Another version of Tamarind kozhamu! Hi Sunitha, I used to make tamarind kozhambu as in your recipe. Recently, I got another version - made by frying and grounding the spices. It tastes really good and now it's an all time favorite at home I got this version from Revathi's Shanmugam's collection of kozhambus. Ingredients: 1 Onion-chopped (1 cup sambhar onions - small ones) Garlic - 1/4 cup Tomato - 3 Red chillies - 8 1 tsp -Dhania (coriander seeds) 1 tsp -Pepper (whole black pepper) 1 tsp -cumin (jheera seeds) 1 tsp - sombu 1 tsp - fenugreek (methi seeds) 1/2 tsp -turmeric powder 1tsp - mustard seeds 1 tsp - split urad dhal 1 tsp - khus khus 2 tsp - shredded coconut 1 lemon sized tamarind-made into pulp and extracted into 3 cups of water curry leaves coriander leaves oil for seasoning salt to taste Heat 1 tsp of oil in a kadai and add red chillies, dhania, jheera, sombu, pepper, khus khus and shredded coconut and fry till it becomes red. Cool it and grind it into a smooth paste. Heat again 4 tsp oil in a kadai, add mustard, urad dhal and fenugreek seeds and let it splutter. Add chopped onions and garlic, fry nicely till they become transparent. Add chopped tomatoes and turmeric powder and saute till the tomatoes get smashed. Add the tamarind and the ground paste and allow it to boil. Sprinkle coriander and curry leaves and take the kozhambu off the stove. PS: If you want you can add vetables like brinjal or lady's finger along with onions and fry well before adding the rest of the ingredients.
