Ennai Kathirikkai Kuzhambu | How to make Ennai Kathirikkai Kulambu | Oily Brinjal Curry

Ennai Kathirikkai Kuzhambu
Ennai Kathirikkai Kuzhambu is a popular and delectable dish made with small brinjals. It is popular in Tamilnadu especially Chettinad. It goes well with rice, idly or dosa. Everyone has their own version and here is mine. By far, this is one of the best curry I have ever made. I personally love them whole and it had hooked me. Try for yourself, see the result and let me know how it turned out for you.

  4. I’ve been surfing online more than three hours today, yet I never found any interesting article like yours. It’s pretty worth enough for me. In my opinion, if all webmasters and bloggers made good content as you did, the web will be a lot more useful than ever before. https://www.goshlife.com/vitamin-c-face-serum.html
