Karamani | Thatta Payiru | BlackEyed Beans Kuzhambu

Tweet

My mom used to make this kuzhambu very often. But whenever she cooks, she will add either brinjal or drumsticks along with black eyed beans. Adding vegetables will enhance the taste of the kuzhambu. But after marriage, I hardly make this. Not because we don’t like it, but I always forget to soak them the previous night. But yesterday, I did that without fail and here is the recipe. I did not have brinjal or drumstick , so made it with just blackeyed beans. Still it tasted good!
