About Ennai Kathirikai Kuzhambu Recipe

Whole brinjal cooked in a tangy tamarind sauce which taste so good with hot rice. I prefer to freshly roasted masala within the kuzhambu which makes it taste amazing. 

Actually this dish taste way higher the following day. The reality is any dish that has coconut or roasted spices in it taste great the following day.
