Ennai Kathirikkai Kuzhambu :
Ennai Kathirikkai Kuzhambu is one of the most authentic recipe of South Indian Cuisine. This is my MIL’s signature dish. She used to prepared this spicy Oil Brinjal gravy in a thick paste form. It tastes divine , when mixed with white steamed hot rice , pairing it with vegetable kootu and roasted pappad. No doubt its our family’s favorite.
