    Varutharacha Meen Kuzhambu Recipe

    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. Of course there are certain curries that can be made in minutes..In fact 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.

    I am not so fond of fish, I have a few fish recipes in my blog, you can check all of them here.I made this a month back and I served it with a simple fish fry.Hope you will like this a lot and let me know what you think.
