It turned out good, but didnt have the Kerala feel to it. Easy recipe but the result was not exceptional either…consider it a daily not too spicy dish.

I tried this recipe with some imperovisations.As we`re fans of hot-spicy-gravy food, i added 1.5tsp red chilli powder and more tamarind as i use it for fishcurry and little water for enough gravy.It was excellent.Thanks very much for the recipe.My husband just loved it. He was all praises even after it was finished.Thanks again.
