    I love this kind of gravy a lot, because you can make them in large batch, put them in fridge and use them whenever you need them. They can stay food upto a week. Their taste and flavour keep on increasing each day just like my Vathakuzhambu.

    If you are a kuzhambu lover just like me, check out my other recipes too..
