Curry Leaves are always a part of daily cooking in the Indian kitchen. We never use them as the main ingredient mostly. We tend to discard curry leaves in our food at times. I saw this recipe in chef Venkatesh bhat’s cookery show. From that day onwards I always wanted to try this recipe and did it finally.

This kuzhambu is packed with tons of flavor. It has curry leaves and garlic both are the perfect combinations of flavor and health too. Garlic is very good for digestion and curry leaves are very good for hair. So come on ladies let’s give it a try !!

Tastes best when served with white rice and any spicy fries.
