The kulambu has made with loads of spices..Stands best with rice,dosa and idly too...The recipe is mostly used in hotels/restaurants,quit easy to make...I used Manga and sundaikai vathal ,instead of veggies...Of course ,u can use can any fresh/dried vegetable. U can store it in the fridge and enjoy till it gets over...

Method

Tips
1.If u r grinding the masala in ammikallu,the taste will reach another (best) level
2.Instead of brinjal,I used half cup of dried sundakkai and 3-4 dried mangoes,Just soaked them in hot water and added to the onions
3.Instead of grated coconut ,u can add coconut milk too
4.Add half tsp of chilli powder to it,if u want it more spicy,otherwise leave it as it is.
