Hi
Everyone,
Today
is big day for us!! yes yes the day when our parents spend all their
savings without even looking into for what they are spending! Yes its
our wedding day! Four years have been ran and still years are waiting
to run.
Yesterday
I planned to sit with my blog for the whole day but right from
morning I didnt even do any work but I didnt touch my laptop also ,
only now by evening I opened my blog to post some recipes.
And
todays recipe is Tomato kuzhambu ,our favourite kuzhambu . I will
make this kuzhambu even when the tomato prices are in peak. This is
very easy to make and yet it tastes tangy , yummy and spicy. The main
advantage is you no need to fry anything just grind and boil and eat.
So easy know!!
Tomato kuzhambu goes well with rice and also tastes awesome with Idli ,Dosa
,Paniyarama and Aappam too. My favourite is with idli ! Hot idlis
soaked in tomato kuzhambu is divine..You should try it to know why
Iam giving so many credits to this simple kuzhambu.
