More Kozhumbu

We just noticed we havent shared the recipe for our favourite dish. It is usually done with sour curd or when curd has turned sour and cant be eaten with rice directly.

We usually add okra(vendakkai) to the more kuzhambu. But in case, you happen to have colacasia(sepa kizhangu/ arvi) in your kitchen, go ahead boil them with salt and drop them too.
