Vatha Kulambu or Vatha Kazhambu is a tangy and spicy South Indian gravy made by simmering tamarind extract, spices and dried berries.

Vata Kulambu is a classic from Tamil Nadu's rich culinary repertoire. It is a tamarind-based gravy, slow-simmered with aromatic spices and typically thickened using sambar powder.

During a late-night drive to Jaipur, Padma stopped at a roadside truck stop to indulge in a comforting spread of chaat, idlis, chutney, sambar and parathas.
