Kulambu Powder

₹70 · 100g

Kulambu Powder is the master spice blend for Tamil-style tamarind gravies — the thick, sour, deeply spiced preparation called kulambu that forms the centrepiece of a typical Tamil rice meal. Unlike sambar powder, which is lighter and lentil-forward, kulambu powder is heavier, darker and more complex — blended from roasted chana dal, black pepper, coriander, cumin, curry leaves, chillies and a larger proportion of spices that hold up against tamarind's sourness. Mrs. Esakkiammal roasts and grinds each ingredient in small batches at Iyarkai Pantry. The finished powder has a warm red-brown tone and a rounded, slightly bittersweet complexity. The 100g pack suits a family for 4–6 weeks of regular kulambu cooking. No artificial flavours, colours or preservatives added. Store airtight, away from heat.
