Sukku Milagu kuzhambu is a south Indian gravy, made with freshly roasted pepper, dry ginger and few other Indian spices. I always love different kind of tangy, spicy kuzhambu recipes like garlic kulambu, garlic cumin kulambu, with dried vegetables or fresh vegetables This would be perfect for the rainy weather. Black pepper and dry ginger have loads of medicinal properties. Sukku/dry ginger is very good for breast feeding moms to speedup digestion and in addition to that they take garlic will increase milk secretion. But, do lessen the spice and tamarind level in this recipe, when giving it to delivered moms. Winter weeks cannot pass without this comforting food!! Sukku milagu kuzhambu is an antioxidant-rich gravy to deal with cold and cough. Dry ginger is a very healthy ingredient. For stomach upset or even for acidic issues, dry ginger is the best home remedy. It is used to treat cold, cough, headaches, fever and very good for digestion. Along with Dry ginger, Pepper adds even more nutritious value to this kuzhambu. Mix this healthy, tasty and spicy kuzhambu with hot steaming rice even with fluffy idli and dosa. One more thing, if you have some long pepper (thippili or kanda thippili) you can add this too with this same recipe, to add on its value. Yes, a big question whether kids will eat or not???? You adjust spice level then don’t skip to add jaggery powder in to it. While eating add some more gingelly oil, or ghee to reach kid’s expectations.
