  2. one variation my mom does is
    she washes the kazhangu and then cuts it
    she half boils the kazhangu with salt and turmeric and then peels the skin
    then in a kadai she puts some oil and fries them out
    then in the same oil she seasons it with mustard and other things and then adds the kazhangu with the curry powder and leaves it on sim for long the longer it is the better it tastes

    if you have a conventional oven then you can even broil it for some time to get the crust instead of frying
    This was served in radhu's wedding (my sis) and it was amazing :)
