Mutton Kulambhu Using Kulambhu Milagai Thool

I have already shared a version of mutton kulambhu with freshly ground spices but today's version is different one using the kulambhu milagai thool.
As this kulambhu milagai thool has all the garam masala spices which normally used for the tempering so w don't use any extra spices for tempering
If you don't have kulambhu milagai thool,use the redchilly powder and coriander powder,do the tempering with whole spices.This type of kulambhu is made especially in village sides to pair up with either rice or idly and dosa.
Usually this kulambhu is made slightly watery to accompany with idly and very little coconut paste is added to give thickness to the gravy.
