                   Kari kuzhambu is an awesome non-veg recipe with kuzhambu podi and coconut milk. It is better to prepare kari kuzhambu in pressure cooker, so that the mutton is cooked softly.

                Kari kuzhambu goes well with white rice. It can also be served with idli, dosa, appam or chapati.

• Add enough water to cook mutton. If you add less water, mutton may stick to pressure cooker.

• If you add more water, allow the excess water to evaporate before adding coconut milk.

• If you don't have homemade kuzhambu podi, you can use any curry powder bought from your local store.
