You can’t get a kulambu recipe that is simpler and easier to prepare than this tomato kulambu. It is made using tomatoes, masala and served alongside a bowl of rice. It also goes well with dosas and naan, any type of bread that you can use for dipping really. The tomatoes give the kulambu a tangy taste and help it emit a wonderful aroma that is a delight to the senses. Once your household picks up this aroma, they will immediately head to the dinner table.
It makes a great dish for storing and using later. Make a batch of tomato kulambu and store it in an air-tight container, so all you need is a bowl of steaming hot rice, dosa or roti and you are all set for dinner.
