This is a easy recipe to make, and as usual kulambu taste best with rice. You can have it with idli or dosa as well. I have shared a kara kuzhambu recipe which is quite popular. This is another favorite recipe of mine. It is quite easy to make and taste so delicious too.

Very good recipe. I made it today and everyone loved it. Just one correction, I think adding the cooked mochchai paruppu has been missed by accident in the recipe procedure. I scrolled down the photos to see when you have added it.
