This is one of my fav. recipe given by my friend .It's very easy to make.This one goes well will rice (with little bit ghee)and potato poriyal as a side dish...hmmm yummy...My mother is not used to make this type of vathakuzhambu, she makes "theeyal" which is her version of vatthakuzhambu.Theeyal , to my knowledge is a kerala dish and we who migrated from tamilnadu made it our vatthakuzambu.Shall post "theeyal" recipe later.
