Garlic has lot of health benefits such as,it reduces the high cholesterol and regulates the blood sugar level.Poondu kulambhu is a spicy,tangy gravy with garlic flavor and goes very well with rice.This particular kulambhu ,I usually make it on the next day of a party food or non-veg since garlic aids digestion.This is my mom's version of making poondu kulambhu and my hubby's favorite.The highlight of this recipe is the freshly ground masala which is used.

- Fresh ground masala powder can be substituted with sambhar powder.
- Shallots can also be used along with garlic.
- Here I used the tamarind concentrate,if you are using tamarind a small lemon sized can be used.
