Nanjil Kothamalli Aanam

 

Hi all..This recipe is again a Sahar/sehri/athaalam special..It's NANJIL KOTHAMALLI AANAM..That is, simple plain coriander gravy or curry..This is one of our native specials as well..And when u want to make a quick curry with less effort, try this for sure..'Aanam' is a name we give for the term 'curry' in our native..Even ppl in some of the other districts in Tamil Nadu use the same..But many of u might not have heard the word I think..I say this bcoz, when I stayed outside of hometown, when I say Aanam, ppl used to stare at me 😂..Then I used to change the word as curry, n only then they understand..
