This vatha kuzhambu recipe,which my mom makes is my favourite kuzhambu...Also it is easy to make..even with no onion or tomato it tastes soooo good...You can add any vathal you want...best option is sundaikaai vathal and manathakkali vathal...I added here cluster bean vathal and manathakkali...I have tried it even with vendaikaai vathal...With everything it tastes divine...Do try and enjoy...
