Preethi,
I made this last nite and it came out very well… its a new one and is very good.
A very new recipe … i havent heard of … will try this and tell you how it came out … and Preethi, if you are in Chennai … you can get vadagam in Ambika Appalam Depots, They add special aroma and flavour while seasoning.
Preethi, this kuzhambu is new for me….would like to try soon.
Have a great day
