My Notes
Adding coconut mixture is optional , it is added just to thicken the kuzhambu. Keeps well for 2 days if refrigerated. You can try to get maavathal in departmental store.Also you can use the same recipe for making other vathal kuzhambu like sundaka vathal kuzhambu etc. Add 1/2 teaspoon chilli powder if your sambar powder is less spicy. You can even add any other vegetable that you use four puli kuzhambu. Adding jaggery syrup is optional but I prefer adding it for the slight tangy sweet taste.
