Simple Kara Kuzhambu / Indian Spicy Curry
Kara Kuzhumbu is a popular dish in South India. This is a basic Kara Kuzhambu recipe with very less ingredients and very easy to make. My mother-in-law makes Kara Kuzhambu in this way. Whenever I feel bored to cook, I will make this Kara Kuzhambu and just papad.
