Kariveppilai Milagu Kuzhambu



My favourite Kariveppilai Milagu Kuzhambu.. Nothing to beat this combination with hot rice, lots of ghee and pappadam!

Ingredients :

Kariveppilai – 2 cups ( leaves to be discarded from stems)
Red Chillies (Long) – 5
Pepper – 2 tsp
Jeera – 2 tsp
Gingelly Oil – 4 tblsp
Tamarind – 1 small ball
Garlic Pods – 2 /3
Salt
Sugar
Perungayam
Roasted Pepper – Jeera Powder – 1-2 tsp



Heat 2 tbsp of gingelly oil, add the red chillies, pepper, Jeera, fry well and then add Karuveppilai leaves.

Add tamarind ball, little salt, perungayam, garlic pods and sprinkle some water. Cook covered on a low flame for about 3-4 mins, till the leaves become soft.

When Cool, grind this mixture nicely adding little water. Once again, heat oil, splutter mustard and jeera and add this ground mixture. On a medium flame, cook this covered until the oil separates from the mixture. Check for salt, add sugar, a little perungayam and then finally add the roasted pepper – jeera powder.

The mixture would be more or less like chutney and can be bottled and stored in the fridge for 7-10 days.
