  2. Hi Mala,
    It is so refreshing to see a 'Hebbar Iyengar' recipe blog. It takes me back to my childhood and my mom's cooking.
    Will try out the 'gasagase kanumbdh' this week.

  11. Hi there,

    I am sorry. I do not know where you got this recipe from. Kolumbh does not have any tomatoes in it.

    Regards,

  15. I and my mom, use asafotida while grinding other items, which gives an awesome aroma, you can try it. We cook groundnut with tuvar dall, it goes well with any colamb veritable.

  16. @ Vasuki
    I do sometimes grinding hing with other masala :). Ya for groundnut my patti was used put with dall. But here in my house we don't like it add groundnuts.

  18. Hey this is too good for my quick references. I generally cook only our Iyengar meals. However I haven’t made Kolumb gojj & looking forward to some tips off your blog. Please post the recipe for the same soon

  19. Nice to see a Hebbar Iyengar cooking site. But tomato in kozhambu? I think I will pass. Great without the timato.

    ReplyDelete
  20. Yes, rice while grinding gives it a nice smooth texture. Just two tbsp. Another variation is to omit the dhania. When you omit the dhania the taste of mustard is enhanced and mustard is after all, the star of the show,

  24. Mala, excellent site for hebbar iyengar recipes. Do you have the recipe for making Kolambu pudi? I had got it made some years ago and it was very convenient. - Jay

  25. Hi Jay

    Thank you.

    Kolumbu pudi dry roast little bit like (red chillies,dhanya) then in a mixer add chillies and dhanya, mustard seeds add dry coconut instead of fresh coconut. You can use as a substitute.
    Make a fine powder out of it.

    Try it and let me know

  26. Tried the kolambu pudi. Both fresh one and one week old one tasted excellent. I have kept it in the fridge. Sometimes I add a spoon of almond powder (Costco) to make it a bit thicker. Thank you for the kolambu pudi recipe.
