Tangy gravies are often prepared in my kitchen, i dont forget to prepare those fingerlicking tamarind based gravies atleast twice a week for our lunch. Today this wonderful looking kuzhambu comes from one my recent cookbook i bought during my stay in India. Actually i dont want to buy this cook book intially coz most of gravies in this cookbook are often cooked at home but somehow am tempted while going through the book as some of the gravies are different from wat we usually make at home. Since the price wasnt that much expensive i picked immediately from a book stall situated near to Pondicherry police station in Nehru street.
Trust me,this lipsmacking gravy goes awesome with rice and papads, this gravy tastes simply awesome even after a day. If you dont like yam aka sennakizhangu, you can replace the yam pieces with potato chunks. Am sure you can also try this same gravy with other beans like blackeyed peas,red chori beans in case if you dont have chickpeas at home.This post goes for the CC Challenge of the month.
