Vendhiya kolambu


This dish is a classic one and is always filling. Not to mention a load of health benefits. I had recently been to NY farmer's market in downtown area, and was amazed at finding spring garlic (same as spring onions, with the green stuff intact)... so I thought this dish which highlights the taste of garlic, ought to do it... this is definitely not for the faint hearted or people who dont like the smell or taste of garlic...

Slice garlic, and onions and keep aside. I used one whole garlic and one whole onion. Start a vessel with oil (sesame oil, optional). Add mustard, and a little vendhiyam. let the vendhiyam brown and the mustard splutter. then add the onions and garlic and saute them. while they are cooking, add a cup of tamarind juice, and to that add 1 tsp sambar powder, little turmeric powder, little hing, and salt. let it boil, and oil separate... now the dish is ready....

This can be served with rice and potatoes fry ... or fish fry ;) Enjoy...
