Vallyamma's Veg Kuruma

              This curry is something very close to my heart, it reminds me of my mother's mother...Vallyamma. It has a nostalgic feel to it, whenever i make this curry.. During my school days,vallyamma used to make this for us( three sisters), for our lunch, at school when we open the lunchbox..the aroma of this curry just spreads and my classmates even asks me to share it.... When she prepares any curry , mainly non-veg curries, it was like heaven.. the taste will be up to the mark.. that delicious... 

          This time for BM i thought,why not i remember her and dedicate a few of her dishes to her...

So under Main Course, this is my first dish, a simple veg kuruma
