Hi sharmi, I'm an avid fan of your recipes. I've tried many of them and not one has disappoint. I have a very fussy grandfather and today I made him this kuzhumbu and your chicken pepper fry. He loved them both and finished everything on his plate (which hardly happens). Thank you very much for bringing love through your food to us in Malaysia.
P/S: I ran out of coconut, so I blended tempeh (fermented soy beans) instead. Made the kuzhumbu thicker and creamier I think.
Lekha
Yummy as always 🙂 …..Made this today as I always make Okra sambhar or Puli Kozhambu. This time I thought y not give Okra another look and hence tried this 🙂 ….The one thing I did differently is I used coconut oil and added tomatoes after the tempering. Thank you.
