Nutritional Information
Pastes like this are typically made with tamarind, chili, spices, salt and oil, so expect a bold, fairly salty and spicy product that is used in small amounts per serving. Because recipes vary by batch and brand, please read the Nutrition Facts panel and ingredient list on the pack for exact values, sodium content and allergen details.


Cooking Suggestions
• Temper mustard seeds, fenugreek, curry leaves and small onions in sesame oil, add the paste with water and simmer until the oil floats to the top
• Add sauteed brinjal and drumstick pieces for a classic vegetable kara kuzhambu
• Drop in hard-boiled eggs for a quick egg kuzhambu that kids and adults both enjoy
• Serve with hot steamed rice, a spoon of ghee and appalam on the side
• Leftover gravy tastes even better the next day with idli or dosa


Frequently Asked Questions
How much water should I add to the paste?
Most cooks dilute a few spoonfuls of paste with roughly one to two cups of water, then adjust to taste. Follow the ratio printed on the jar as your starting point.
Is this the same as sambar?
No. Kara kuzhambu is thicker, tangier and spicier than sambar and is traditionally made without dal, so it has a sharper, more pickle-like character.
How do I keep the jar fresh after opening?
Always use a dry spoon and close the lid tightly. Refrigerating after opening is a sensible habit unless the label says otherwise.
