பொரித்த குழம்பு / Poricha Kuzhambu


Poricha Kuzhambu is one of my favourite gravy , cos it is " The Simplest " gravy  for Beginners to learn and get good comments & am sure there is no doubt about it !! It goes well with pappads or any spicy side dishes. We normally cook this, only on our lazy days..that is when, myself & mom have no ideas or gone mad in a thought process of what to cook for lunch.. 2 potatoes & 1 drum stick is more than enough for this dish to bring yummy flavor . Learn this aromatic Poricha kuzhambu with pictorial steps .. Happy Cooking !!
