During one of family get togethers my sister in law prepared this kadi which is not the curd based one but a coconut based gravy. So I wanted to try that and combine it in my way.
Today my husband wanted to have drumstick and dal ,so instead of making a normal sambar I tried to combine my SILs recipe with dal and drumstick and came up with the yummy combination.
So without further wait here is the recipe.
