Few years ago, I went through the recipe of making Inji / Ginger Kuzhambu in a magazine and made it. We all just loved it very much and from then I started making it regularly at least twice a month.Since it is made using ginger, pepper and cumin , very good for digestion too. It is thick like a gravy with fine aroma and spiciness and it suits not only rice, but also Pongal and Upma. Just like vatha kuzhambu it can be kept for two days...
