ABOUT Vendhaya Milagu Kuzhambu/Fenugreek & Pepper Gravy RECIPE

Peppercorns and dry ginger gives the spiciness to this gravy while fenugreek seeds in tempering gives a mild bitterness. This gravy doesnt even need tomatoes and it tastes almost like pathiya kuzhambu, a mild gravy served to new moms after their delivery.
