Udaitha Muttai Kuzhambu Recipe

this recipe is adapted from one of my dear friend Suganya who taught me this recipe when i was in Bangalore. weekends it was very usual routine to gather at one place and cook lunch or dinner together. When she had come to my home for dinner. We prepared this curry for chapathi and it was superbly delicious that i documented it immediately though i dint take decent pics of the curry. now almost after 1.5 years, i made it again, i shot the video and pics and updating this recipe.
