I always love different kind of tangy, spicy kuzhambu recipes. Like my Poondu Kuzhambu, Brinjal pepper kuzhambu, karuveppilai kuzhambu… Sukku kuzhambu also I loved a lot. Its very appetising and good for us to include sukku – Dry ginger in our diet. I had some sukku powder passed to me by my FIL. It helps a lot for digestion. So when Raji told this recipe, I wanted to try it out immediately. So tried this and loved it a lot. The sukku smell is not over powdering in this kuzhambu, just very mild and very tasty. I have used sukku powder, but you can also use a piece of dry ginger itself if you have some.

    I got one as a gift and it's still wrapped up because i have too many cooking pans already. Each time I see it here, I feel like I should open mine and use it! It's been over a year since I got it 🙂
