CURRY-LEAVES

(Pictures Updated)

Note:

  • The kuzhambu have to boil for atleast 15 minutes,till the raw smell of curry leaves goes off,so add enough water.
  • If ur kuzhambu has a green smell of the curry leaves then tamarind u have used must have been less,so the tamarind and the curry leaves paste should be in correct ratio.
  • Tastes best the next day Winking
