My memories of this dish go way back to my childhood because this is the fry that my mom makes for every festival and I have no idea why . The other things which are normally made along with this dish are sambar, ulundhu vadai and ven pongal. So this has been on my mind forever, but since I rarely get fresh curry leaves I could not make it.
So this time when I found fresh curry leaves I finally got around to making this. Just the smell of freshly ground ginger and curry leaves made me nostalgic. This is a simple fry which goes well with rice or rotis. Adjust the quantity of ginger based on your need. I love ginger flavor and I add a lot normally. Off to the recipe.
