Thatta payir kulambu | karamani kuzhambu

Thatta payir kulambu is a typical south indian gravy . I wanted to try this for a long time but i am very particular to try this with red colour thatta payir | cow pea beans. This gravy will taste god even with black channa or black eyed karamani too. My sister is here for a week and she bought this thatta payar for me from india. The recipe of thatta payir kulambu | karamani kuzhambu is shared by my friend and slightly tweaked the recipe according to my taste. We all loved it a lot and had it for lunch along with yam curry. Check out my other south indian kuzhambu recipes.
