Milagu Kuzhambu/Pepper Kuzhambu
Milagu kuzhambu/Pepper Kuzhambu is a
traditional South Indian kuzhambu made by blending black pepper corns with
other spices and ingredients. I have been making lot of dishes with pepper now,
the reason is that though spring started officially in March, it is still cold
and flowers are blooming only now(May). UK has faced a very bad winter after 50
years, and it is now raining and hail falling down, the weather is really
pathetic. The perfect lunch for us I decided was milagu kuzhambu/Pepper
kuzhambu and potato roast, an apt lunch for cold and rainy days.
You can use sunflower oil as well, but gingerly oil is excellent for this kind of kuzhambu's gives rich aroma and very good taste. Check out other delicious South Indian -TamilNadu special Kuzhambu varieties here.
Here’s how to make Milagu/Pepper Kuzhambu with step by step photos…
Milagu kuzhambu has lots of medicinal
values, it helps us when we have cold and cough. The pepper helps in getting
rid of the phlegm and congestion. It also helps in digestion and gastric
problems. Since we add lots of curry leaves this kuzhambu is also rich in
iron. This is my mom’s special milagu kuzhambu.

Kathrikkai & Murungakkai Kaara Kuzambu/Brinjal & Drumsticks Gravy
There
are different types kara kuzhambu made in our South Indian homes, each one has a
distinct taste and flavor. I just love the combination of brinjal and
drumsticks and it is very common in our house. I prefer to make all types of
kuzhambus with gingely oil to get both the taste and the health benefits of it.
Gingelly oil/Nalla ennai is cold pressed oil and has numerous health benefits. Cold
pressed oils are produced through a combination of grinding and low heat without
any addition of chemicals. Gingelly oil is derived from sesame seeds, using
this method. That is why I think it is named as “Nalla ennai” meaning “Good oil”.
Try to incorporate ginglley oil as much as possible in your cooking… Check out other delicious South Indian -TamilNadu special Kuzhambu varieties here.
With that
short note, let’s see how to make Kara kuzhambu with step by step photos…
