Karuveppillai arachuvita kuzhambu - Preparation time 15 to 20 mins
Curry leaves (Karuveppillai) is rich in iron content. I most of the recipe it will be used only as a garnishing ingredient and thrown away while eating. The best way to make people eat is chop the curry leaves finely and add to sambar, rasam, kootu and dry curry. In my home we do that way and consume while eating.
Yesterday i tried this karuveppilai arachuvita kuzhambu it came out well and tasted different. We can also consume more amount of curry leaves. We can make this out of ingredients which will be always available in our anjarai petti. Contains all healthy ingredients try it out.
