Use Sesame oil for authentic flavor. If you don’t like that flavor, use any cooking oil.
Also you can use other vathals like manathakkali vathal, maa vathal, mithuku vathal or any vathal for making this kuzhambu.

This sundried sundakkai vathal has salt in it so be careful while adding salt.

Never skip jaggery at the end, it gives an extra punch and taste to the vathal kuzhambu.

You can skip preparing vathakuzhambu podi and instead add 2 tbsp of sambar powder.
