I have already posted a version of Thakkali/Tomato Kulambhu,but today's version is slightly different with drumstick and the freshly ground masala.
I often make the same type of kulambhu for week end lunch,so I thought of making a variation,when I looked my recipe collections,this one attracted me.
I tried it for first time and everybody liked it,but hubby dear wanted to be a bit spicier version.So increase or decrease the spice according to your family preference.We had it along with beans poriyal,rice and pappad for a comforting weekend lunch.Off to the recipe....................

- I used the tamarind paste can be replaced with fresh tamarind,for this quantity a big gooseberry size is enough.
- Here I used the fat clove of garlic,if it is a smaller one 10-12 cloves can be used.
