Notes
Kuzhambu Milagai Thool - is nothing but an all purpose curry powder made with combination of red chilies, coriander, black pepper, cumin & red gram. It adds thickness to the gravy / masala and mostly used for all south Indian curries, stir fries and gravies. If can't make or find one then substitute with ( 1 tsp spicy red chili powder + 2 tsp coriander powder + 1/2 tsp black pepper powder + 1/2 tsp cumin powder)
