Here is the simple,yet delicious lunch is ready!!!
My Notes:
- Peppercorns are too good for health so don’t reduce the quantity of peppercorns,if you feel the kuzhambu is spicy then reduce the amount of dry chillies before powder it or you can add ghee or gingerly oil into the rice while having it.
Have a Nice Day!!!
