Pazhang curry @ Sunda Curry – This name may be new to some of you. It is nothing but a thick gravy made using leftover sambar + kootu/avial + poriyal. People in Tirunelveli knows this recipe very well.
My mom used to make this on festival days like Diwali, Pongal and on No moon day / Full Moon Days. On these days,we all prepare full meals with sambar, poriyal, kootu/avial, pachadi, vadai and Payasam.

Not only on these days, we do all these items whenever we have guest at home. Sometimes theese recipes may left over excessively. During those times, my mom do this pazhang curry on that night or the next day morning by refrigerating it. My MIL also makes it and call this as Sunda curry. It serves as an excellent accompaniment for Rice, Idli/dosa. I love this mixed curry more than sambar & kootu.
We usually have it by mixing with plain rice adding few drops of gingely oil. My aachi used to make this rice in a big plate (thaambalam) make balls and feed us with papad/ appalam as side dish. I crave for those days now. Its very easy to make & at the same time we can utilize left over recipes effectively without wasting them . Friends try this sunda curry recipe if you have left over Dal+sambar+poriyal/kootu. It tastes great !

You are right!This tastes divine:))
I like it with pazhaya sadham the best:))
This kootu is made only on devasom/shraddam day in my home. Probably becoz all the elders has to take tiffin for night. I love that curry so much.
WOW!! New dish for me, never heard of that before. Yes, you can reuse the leftover Sambhar to make Kootu, I can imagine the yummy taste. Good one Chitra, great post. I could use it, making sambhar today! :)

I think Nalla-ennai has been named so for a reason ;)
And this is a good way to take care of leftovers :) I think we call it erinja-kuzhambu or something similar :)
I have never heard of the name but you have done a great job making thing simple and a nice description under Kitchen clinic... Lovely space...

Left overs always give lots of flavour..This is something new..Nice recipe..

We call this pazhang kootan and I love it. I remember my mom and me licking the bowl clean:). This is usually made in the weekends when we have a little of different curries left over from the weekend.

Ys, i have tasted this Chittu and it is divine..As Jayashree said, it is made at our home only on shraddam days where we have leftovers..I would like to have this with curd rice...My grandma used to make all the children sit and give curd rice, of course with this kootu as the side dish. I miss that now...You made me to remember...
Thanku friends:)
Wow.. thats a nice idea of using the lo's... Looks lovely!
mom used to make it sometimes and it was always a hit! thanks for bringing back those memories :)
Hi Chitra,
Made this 3rd time today. My suggestion is when you cook sambar like this it will become salty, so you can remove the salt addition though you have mentioned it optional. Your recipes are easy to make and spot on in stepwise methods. The dish is a good combo with pazhaya(thanni) saatham. Please post more simple recipes. if possible without ggpaste. Thanks again.
Thanks a lot for the feedback and suggestion :) Will post more of this kind :)
