Omam ( Ajwain) Vathak Kulambu

Ingredients
mustard seeds 1 tsp
fenugreek seeds 1/4 tsp
omam 1 tsp
red chilies 1
curry leaves 1 sprig
papad 1 broken into small bits
oil 1 tbsp
tamarind juice thick 1 cup
atta 1 tsp
salt 1 tsp
sambar pdr 1 tsp
hing 1/2 tsp

Method
In a heavy pan, heat oil, add mustard seeds, once it crackles, add fenugreek, chili, curry leaves, hing.
Then add the broken papad/ appalam, fry it well, add omam/ ajwain, saute, pour the tamarind juice, salt, sambar pdr, simmer let it boil for about 8 minutes.
Mix atta with little water, add to the boiling mixture, mix well, once it boils well, remove.
Serve with hot rice & til oil.

ps- this is very healthy to have once a week, as omam/ ajwain is good for the stomach, also when you don't have sambar, it gives some rest to your tummy, as our stomach doesn't have the enzymes to digest the dal protein, so we bloat. So this helps to keep our tummy safe & healthy. I just love this, can have this with curd rice too !
