About this Food!

"Chutney Kuzhambu" , is a simple and easy to make dish influenced from French rulers in Karaikal district of Tamil Nadu during independence period as told by my grand mother and its famous dish till date,  in this same dish we can add cinnamon and cardamom to give extra flavor ...however if you like that taste, its optional only.It has a mild taste and its color looks mild French origin and its aroma will be pleasant .

Best side dish with Idly,Dosai and Chapati but real taste of this kuzhambu will be felt only when poured over your idly,dosai or chapatti while eating instead of just dipping and eating it, in tamil we say "Peratti Adichu Sappiduvadhu":-)
