Vendakkai Kulambu ~ Bhindi curry for rice

VENDAKKAI KULAMBU

Watching the last match of sachin was very emotional. My grand father, uncle and brother are hard core cricket fans at home. i was left with no other option than joining them in cheering for Team India. I remember the days, when my grand father listens to cricket commentary in radio and also the days watching match in television munching snacks like seedai and boiled groundnuts. Those were the days sachin started to play. i started watching cricket in tendulkar era. it was also nice to watch the last match with my son. he kept on asking, why he is retiring, wont he touch the bat again and all.



VENDAKKAI KUZHAMBU

You can use big onions instead of shallots. but shallots add great taste to the curry.

This curry goes well with idly, dosa and rice.
