My friend nisha introduced me curry leaves kuzhambu and told me the recipe in one line that add curryleaves paste to the end of the poondu kuzhambu and cook for 3-4mins.It happened last year during our chat time,after that i used to prepare this healthy kuzhambu often.
You can fry washed, patted curryleaves in tawa till it dried then powder it and use it for many dishes as a garnishing part.
I fry & grind garlic flakes(half of the quantity only ) as a paste for the different flavour.I watched this procedure in one popular TV show.You can also skip frying & grinding part with garlic.In that way you yield thick green coloured curry leaves kuzhambu.
