Yet another recipe I learned from my Amma and I loved the simplicity and fruity flavor of this dish.

Most of the coastal dishes have a coconutty flavor to it. This recipe is a variant of the popular ‘Thambuli’ from the Udupi cuisine.

The base of any Tambuli is Coconut, Cumin seeds, and Ghee!

Here is the recipe for pomegranate Tambuli 🙂
