    Verum Kuzhambu Recipe


    Verum Curry  | Verum Kuzhambu | Thenga aracha Kuzhambu | freshly ground Coconut Kuzhambu with step by step pictures. Verum Curry is one of my favourite curry since childhood. It is so simple to prepare but tastes divine. If you love coconut based Kuzhambu then you definitely got to try this easy and delicious Kuzhambu.

    Verum Kuzhambu is very famous in Kanyakumari District, it is in the south most part of Tamil Nadu .Myself being from Nagercoil, and I am no exception I just love to have to this anytime. Verum Kuzhambu is usually paired with Avicha Meen (Sautéed Fish).It is another signature Fish Curry in Kanyakumari district. I will be sharing the recipe soon.
    Back in my native we get plenty of fresh fish in abundance and hence they usually prepare verum Curry and avicha meen almost every alternate days. Even Fish Fry goes very well with Verum Kuzhambu.
