KARAKUZHAMBU

Karakuzhambu is one our family’s most liked gravies.There are many varieties and methods in making these but I  like the classic one with Drumstick and Shallots.A great combo with potato fry an rice, you will end up eating a few mouthfuls extra.It is named Karakuzhambu, so it’s a bit spicy but you can always adjust your spice level.I tasted this kuzhambu for the first time at Saravana Bhavan in Chennai.What an awesome taste it was.Truly remarkable.Now this recipe can be made with Brinjal, Lady’s Finger and any vegetable of your choice.Let’s see how it’s made..
