What another lip smacking recipe this is!!! I would really thanks to my Mom for this wonderful recipe. After long time back, I just wanted to taste typical my gramathu samayal. I love this recipe.

When you make this curry you will definitely feel nativity kai manam. When i was kid, my mom used to make even masala with ammikal for original village samayal.

Unfortunately I couldn't do that. But I felt the taste with my overall effect. I hope you'll surely enjoy this yummy dish.

This goes very well with steamed hot rice, idli, dosa, chapatti, roti...
