Manathakkali Vathal Kuzhambu
Manathakkali or black night shade is a berry which is used widely
in South Indian Cooking. We mostly dry them and add it to dishes as they are
seasonal. January is the season we get this berry freshly in huge quantities however
we managed to get in one shop in mylapore market (Chennai) during the month of
June. The berry has a lot of medicinal values. Traditionally the plant was used
to treat tuberculosis. However it is widely used in house hold if there are any
stomach complaints and ulcers.
We are almost at the end of our vacation in Chennai and it is
time for me to start making my yearly quota of sambar powder,rasam powder, idli
chili powder etc etc. Though we can do all them in mixie in small quantities I
prefer them to be ground in maavu machine shop as the texture is perfect when
we grind with them. I generally prefer
my mother’s combination for this powder which is used for cooking at my home
for ages. However this version is slightly modified for long term storage.
