Product Review: Vathal Kozhambu Curry Paste From Tasty Tales


Vathal Kozhambu is a tamarind based curry. This dish is popular among us Tamilians / Tamil community. My grandmother or mom would often prepare vathal kozhambu. It was a staple curry that would compliment with many vegetables. 

Tasty Tales Vathal Kozhambu contains a wonderberry called as Black Nightshade. These berries contain medicinal properties and helps in many ways.  Black Nightshade in Tamil is referred as manathakkali and Vathal meaning sundried. These berries are grown in abundance across south india which is washed sun dried and cleaned to add in a curry or other recipes. Our families would prepare these sun dried berries in bulk during summer but these days no one prepares due to time constrain and these steps are avoided.

I was satisfied to find Tasty Tales offering authentic homestyle vathal kozhambu, prepared with natural ingredients. No preservatives, colors or flavors used. The curry paste has a shelf life upto 6 months. One packet serves four. 

This curry is a great boon specially for people who are in search of authentic dishes that can be prepared in a jiffy. The curry once prepared can be stored upto two weeks refrigerated. Just a small amount of curry would be sufficient for a bowl of rice. 

Manathakkali or Black Nightshade berries helps cure flu, cold, cough, stomach pain and heals wounds faster, this sentence was always repeated by my granny to coax fussy eaters atleast taste the curry. At the sametime few fussy eaters in my family would avoid some veggies and only opt vathal kozhambu.


Easy to follow instructions, best part we don't have to add anything additional to the curry. Just follow the directions and prepare, in 10 minutes a delicious curry can be served.

Neatly packaged product no leaks, we can carry it for camping or long travels where we are allowed to cook. Best product for people who are staying away from home for work and craving home cooked food. Tasty Tales is available on Bigbasket and Amazon. Also available in stores: Loyal world, MK Retail, New Frosty's...


Simple two step process creating a tasty curry was fun. I served vathal kozhambu with cabbage stir fry, dhal, rice and papad. Tasty Tales recipes are curated by passionate home Chef's (Mom's / Grannies). Both the curries which we prepared and tasted was delicious.
