Malayisa* i like this vendakkai mandi, not a typical puli kulambhu but its very simple to make and i like its simple flavor a lot. Paruppu urundai and this vendakkai mandi is very famous in chettinad cooking. It gets the name mandi because tamarind is soaked in washed rice water. This can be mixed with curd rice, sambar or any main dish. You can see this in marriage food. I actually like it as main kulambhu too. I like to mix it with white rice and eat.
