Anjarai Petti Kuzhambu

We can also call this kuzhambu as Medicinal Kuzhambu.. This is the kuzhambu, which is prepared using almost all the spices, and pulses. To give crunchiness to Kuzhambu, we can use either Ladies Finger or Brinjal. I have used Ladies Finger. It is really better if we could get the goodness of all spices and Pulses in just one kuzhambu.. Isn't it??
