Pattani kuzhambu recipe an easy and quick south indian curry perfect with rice,roti etc
Pattani kuzhambu recipe with step by step pictures and video.An easy south indian curry made with dried yellow peas.
I very rarely buy this dried variety of peas as I haven’t experimented much with it except for the basic sundal varieties.This time when I bought it for making sundal thought should give a try with gravies and this gravy base is perfect to make when you don’t want to make a elaborate sidedish.I made Chole with this same gravy base for a gettogether and it came out soo good.Do try this easy peasy curry which suits perfectly for pulao,rice or even roti.
I made it for dinner along with chapathi and we all liked it a lot.Hubby even said we should try this more often instead of our usual sidedishes so yayy!! Do try this and let me know the feedback.
