TIPS:
Curry leaves can be roasted before grinding but I wanted a fresh flavor hence did not roast.
Roasting cumin seeds along with other ingredients not right as it get roast fast. May result smoky flavor.
Coconut can be added while grinding.
Without coconut this kuzhambu stays long for couple of weeks in the fridge.
