Thanks K for the Vatha kozhambu recipe. Vatrals are not available here in Kabul. I have to get it from SL or India. I cant wait until I try the vatha kozhambu recipe.

Thanks Suja for your nice post.
That too will taste nice.
Its soo difficult to trace back recipes.
Take care, Kugan98

Aarthii take your time.
Come to the forum when you feel free.
Take care, Kugan98

Suvai, Suvai, you have come to the forum:redjump::redjump:
Thank you so much, we are all very happy for you.
The KK was a bit dull without your nga:-D

Take care Suvai, I can understand.
Please come when ever time permits.
Take care, Kugan98

Oh, Roshan, so sad you have no vatrals there.
I will post a kaara kulambu for you.
Try that and see.

If your weather is hot,
Cut bittergourds into thin round slices and dry it for one
day. Next day soak the
bittergourd in curd, and salt. Then dry it in the sun
until it is fully dried and becomes crisp.
Store in air-tight containers.

How to make Brinjal Vathal
Cut brinjal into semicircular pieces. Apply salt, spread on a large
plate and dry it in the sun
for two days or until it becomes crisp.
This can be used for vathal kulambu and morkulambu
Take care, Kugan98
