Koli Kulambu(Chicken Sauce)
This is the Indian dish that Swami and Sak prepared for our Indian dinner night while living in Frankfurt. They were very kind and showed us how to prepare the dish for ourselves. We now make this often and have also learned to make some variations of our own. Thank you Swami and Sak!!!
