Vathal Kulambu...

Tangy and spicy kuzhambu using manathakkali vathal that is also known as edible nightshade berries. This kulambu forms a part of the elaborate meal that is served at homes during any festivals and the regular menu in restaurants.

Manathakkali is the berry which happens to be the fruit that is black in color is picked from the the plant and is sun dried to be used as vathals. They are also very difficult to pick as they are just the size of a black pepper corn. This sun dried vathals can be stored for number of years to be used as and when required.

Everyone(on a death row): Wants to eat vatha kulambu with roasted potato and with arisi appalam.....by amma!..

Good is food.........
