BTW, what does oyster sauce taste like?... is there an alternative for it?
If I were to make I would use garlic, soy sauce and oyster sauce. I would also use cornflour as a thickener.

Hi K, I want to try fried veg.. but I dont like the smell of oyster sauce. Can we use anything else in place of this?
Cauliflower recipe looks interesting.
Roshan, long life, I was just thinking of you today.
I remember you asking for vathal kulambu.
I have posted the recipe before, very mouth watering.
You know now having problem with the index.
I will go through and find the recipe and post for you.
As for the stir fried vegetables, its o.k to omit the oyster sauce.
Do the rest as per recipe.
The vegetarian oyster sauce contains, water, sugar, modified starch.
caramel, mushroom powder, carrot powder, celery powder,
permitted flavouring and preservatives.
No real oyster. Thanks Kugan98
Thanks K for the response. I will try the fried vegetable during week end. Yeah will appreciate the vatha kozhambu recipe. Dev posted a couple of options, would liek to see yours too. Vatha Kozhambu is really mouth watering. Loved it so much when I had it in Chennai.
Thanks a lot K and NOV...:) will this dish be slightly sour?...
K, have sent u a pm... pls chk...:)
kuganka,cauliflower recipe looks interesting.
Thanks for the recipe kuganka.
Dev,
tried ur thakkali kulambu(Kongu style).Turned yummy.
Thanks for the recipe dev.
Dev, the stif fried veges will not be sour.
It will have a very , very slight sweetish taste, because of the carrots.
There will be a nice aroma of the garlic and ginger.
Best eaten while still hot. Kugan98
Thanks Aarthii for your post.
I am sure you must be very busy nowadays.
Do not see you often in the thread.
Take care of your family first, how is Pranay?
Kugan98

VATHAL KULAMBU
Ingredients:
1 big lemon sized tamarind, soak in 3 cups of water
2 tbs of sundakkai vatral, fried crisp in oil.
4 garlic pips sliced (optional)
½ tsp turmeric powder
1 tsp jiggery
A big pinch of asafoetida powder
1 sprig curry leaves
½ tsp mustard seeds
½ tsp fenugreek seeds
3 dry chillies broken
30 ml gingelly oil
To Grind:
1 tbs coriander seeds
½ tsp fenugreek seeds
1 tsp urad dal
1 tsp channa dal
6 red chillies, more or less according to taste
1 tsp rice flour
Method:
Squeeze the tamarind and extract the juice.
Dry roast all ingredients in “grind” and make into a smooth paste.
Fry the vatrals in oil and keep aside.
In a pot, add in the gingelly oil, add in the mustard and fenugreek seeds.
Add in also the curry leaves and broken red chillies.
Now add in the garlic and fry till it is golden in clolour.
Add now the tamarind juice and let it simmer on low heat.
Add in the turmeric powder, salt and jiggery.
Stir once in a way, when the mixture becomes semi thick, add in the ground powder, asafoetida and the fried vatals.
Allow it to boil for another 10 minutes on medium heat.
Let it boil till oil separates. The kulambu will become little thick like
a paste. Remove.
If you want it in gravy form, remove before the gravy becomes very thick.
NOTE: My grandma likes to make her vatral kulambu like a paste and keep
It in bottles. When she wants gravy she will take 100ml of boiling water and add 1 or 2 tbs of the paste and would have instant vatral kulambu.
Or she will take steaming hot rice, add a tsp of gingelly oil and 1 tbs of the vatral
kulambu and mix it into the rice. Instant vatral kulambu rice.
You can use any vatral of your choice.
Sure K, will try that aswell...
Have sent a PM...pls check K...:)
Aarthii, I remember U asking for a dhal kurma recipe... happened to stumble upon this recipe on a blog... very simple... give it a try and let us know if it matches ur expectation... http://www.sharmispassions.com/2009/...hal-kurma.html
