Notes
The curry would thicken after sometime, so you would need to add the water according to the consistency you need.
Very easy, tasty and healthy recipe it is. Have it with hot steaming rice and 1tsp of ghee on top of it. That's how my mom used to give me when I was a child and now I do that to my girls. 😊😊 And they just love the cherupayar curry and ghee combination
Hope you also would love it.
Lots of Love,
