Kathirikkai Kaara Kulambhu/Kuzhambhu - Version 2



Kaara Kulambhu or Puli Kulambhu is our family's favorite and I make weekly once for our lunch.Last week I got lot of eggplants from my home garden and I wanted to make kaara kulambhu,noted from a T.V show.The recipe sounds simple but the  highlight of the recipe is the use of freshly ground masala paste.Here I used the long variety eggplant but the original recipe is with the baby eggplants.
