This is how exactly we prepare the Chicken Kulambu in Kongunadu. We don’t normally eat Non-Veg during the month of Puratasi. So we make substitues for chicken during that period. This recipe is a substitute of Chicken Curry Kulambu. Cabbage can also be replaced with Mushroom or Potato. Home made Curry Masala is the plus here, it gives the extra flavor and also a unique taste.
