karaikudi Pakoda Kuzhambu, Classic Spicy Pakoda Kara Kulambu for rice

பகோடா குழம்பு, Pakoda Kulambu recipe, spicy Pakoda Kara Kuzhambu recipe made with Freshly ground aromatic spices in Tangy Tamarind Curry similar one like Vazhaipoo Pakoda Kuzhambu.  Karaikudi special Pakoda kuzhambu. In every Karakudi Hotel meal, there must be mandatory Pakoda kuzhambu and Keerai Kootu in Menu. Both are an awesome combo. Many times I tasted Karakudi Meals only because of this combo. Usually, they Deep fry the Pakodas only at the serving time they top it and then they will serve. We can see the crispy pakoras floating on a spicy Kara Kuzhambu. You can see the above picture that’s how exactly it is.

Quickly I asked my friend why it tastes like super yummy in the hotel, actually for Kara Kuzhambu they prepare a day before the next day they serve it. The taste keeps getting better when you serve it the next day and the next. I love this kara kuzhambu very much and during my previous attempts, I was unable to nail the taste of it exactly. Though the ones served at the weddings were spicy, it also had a sweet tinge to it which has got nothing to do with the shallots added. I did try adding jaggery towards the end like we sometimes do but even then it did not taste right.
