Karuveppilai kuzhambu recipe, Garlic flavored curry leaves gravy recipe, with step-by-step pictures.
We make a variety of gravies home and one among them is this karuveppilai kuzhambu. This is a very healthy and delicious recipe. The aroma of curry leaves, garlic, and the tanginess of the tamarind complement the gravy.
We usually mix this with hot rice. Apart from that karuveppilai kuzhambu pairs well with Idli and dosa too. I am adding red chili powder and coriander powder in this recipe, but you can use Homemade Sambar powder too.
