Thiruvathirai kali kuzhambu is nothing but the seven vegetables kootu (7 kai kootu ) in gravy form made using freshly ground spices. It is prepared without cooked dal. It is called as thalagam by Tamil brahmins. Last year I prepared thiruvathirai kali,adai and kootu to update my old post and pictures.
Along with those recipes, I tried 7 kai thalagam also known as thiruvathirai kali kuzhambu / pongal kuzhambu for the first time. I wanted to make a gravy kind of recipe for kali. So I tried this kulambu recipe. We can make this kuzhambu for thai pongal festival too.
Recently my sister was telling about this gravy to me which tempted me to try. I searched in google and adapted this recipe from here. I made some changes in the quantity and tried it. It was very nice for plain rice and thiruvathirai rice kali. It tasted more like our arachuvitta sambar without dal. I loved this kuzhambu more than our kootu:) Tasted great with kali!
