    When it comes to making curries or any kulambu, I love making it from scratch…I mean making it from roasting whole spices till it turn nutty and dark and grinding it to form the base of the gravy..This gives you the maximum flavour and this what makes the curry taste like a proper CURRY..Ofcourse there are certain curries that can be made in minutes..Infact I have a separate section called Curry in a Hurry, You can check that..This curry is not that instant kind..It needs some effort but once the masala is done, cooking can be done in 30 mins.
