PEPPER KULAMBU

HI.,..

I saw this kulambu in Elite foods (Viki's Kitchen website). I remembered that my Granny does this dish very often when it rains or anyone catches cold. Its such a good one for cold and fever.

She gave me the recipe and that looked very simple as well.

channa dal - 1 tsp

cumin seeds - 1/2 tsp

garlic - 4 - 5 pods

Method:

- grind it to a fine powder

- in a pan add oil

- fry the garlic pods until they are soft
