Poondu Puli Kolambu is a traditional South Indian dish known for its tangy and spicy flavors. It’s a tamarind-based curry made with garlic, spices, and sometimes vegetables or lentils. “Poondu” means garlic, and “Puli” refers to tamarind, so this dish is essentially a garlic tamarind curry. It’s typically served with steamed rice and is a popular part of South Indian cuisine.
