Ginger and Tomato Kuzhambu (Inji Thakkali Kuzhambu)

Ginger and Tomato Kuzhambu is the most favorite Kuzhambu of my family and whenever I make this I used to make it in a larger quantity to use it for 2 days. I learnt this Kuzhambu just few years back from an old lady who traveled with me. And from then we all started loving it. Any vegetable fry goes very well with this Kuzhaambu rice. Above all this kuzhambu tastes heavenly with curd rice.
