Poondu Kulambu or Poondu Vengaya kulambu is a traditional chettinad style kulambu.
You can make this kulambu with just Shallots and Garlic pods, no other vegetables are required .Then the kulambu is Summa kulambu. In case if you want to include vegetables ,major choices are okra,brinjal,drumstick.I make brinjal drumstick kulambu too.The use of Shallots ,Garlic and Sesame oil makes this kulambu truly memorable even without any vegetables.
This Poondu kulambu can be stored in the fridge for a few days or it can stay at room temperature for 2-3 days too.Kulambu actually tastes better the second day. This is due to the fact the flavors get concentrated making the kulambu super tasty. This is a staple kulambu in our homes. My mom makes her version my Mother in law makes has her own version. This recipe is a hybrid between the two. I made this poondu kulambu for lunch couple of days ago and had some left over. We actually had it for dinner along with curd rice.
