A very authentic and delicious kuzhambu. This is a very healthy dish made with curd as the base. This is one of those authentic foods which you do not get in restaurants and you get to eat them at home:). The flavor and the aroma of methi in this dish is amazing...

Tuvaram Parupu / Toor Dal – 2 table spoons
Kadalai Parupu / Chana Dal – 2 table spoons
Red Chili – 2
Green Chili – 4
Coconut – ½ cup

ReplyDeleteI have a question....how do you make a paste without adding water...the blender won't run and I don't have anything to grind in. Unless you can dry grind it.....any suggestions?
ReplyDeleteHi, You need to do some grinding before adding water... It will be like a wet coarse sand but without the water.. It is easier this way. If you want to add water, add as little as possible initially...
