Kuzhambu Milagai Thool Recipe | Homemade Chilli Powder Recipe | Chilli Powder Recipe For South Indian Curry

Kuzhambu Milagai Thool is nothing but a chilli powder mix with dal and other spices. For any south Indian dishes like Kuzhambu, Stir Fry/Varuval, Sambar, Poriyal this kuzhambu milagai thool is used traditionally and that gives unique taste, flavor and authentic touch to the dishes. I like to use kuzhambu Milagai thool for my south indian kuzhambu recipes instead of plain red chilli powder. But here, I do not find kuzhambu milagai thool  now-a-days, So I prepare it at home.

Last year when my Bil visited us, My Mom-in-law has sent few packets of fresh Homemade Milagai Thool & Dhaniya powder. She prepares such flavorful dhaniya & milagai thool like my Grand mom. This is my Mom-in-law's recipe, I got it for a small portion that stays for 1-2 months. She uses sun dried dry red chillies and dhaniya and roast only the other ingredients, but here sun drying method is not possible during winter season and that time I usually roast all the ingredients and grind it.
Kara Kuzhambu, Puli Kuzhambu, Egg Kuzhambu, Masal Kuzhambu, Varuval tastes good and flavorful when cooked using this Milagai thool instead of plain red chilli powder. If you want to taste authentic south Indian dishes then you must try it with this Milagai Thool. You can even use this chilli powder to make Sambar and all other day to day cooking except for North Indian Curry & Sabzis. For North Indian style gravy/sabzis you have to use plain chilli powder without other spices & lentils combo.
