This is my Mother-in-laws's recipe. She is a great cook ,but she never gives her recipes easily. Here is one, I successfully managed to get . This is a fail proof recipe. The measure of the ingredients needn't be exact. It always turns out fine.
(I'm updating this post with a recent picture. In this I didn't allow the curry to dry it very much. I liked this one better than my previous one. The taste dosen't differ. But when mixed with rice it was very very good)

Ur Nandu looks YUM! Adding sambar powder to it is an different idea.
This dish has always been a winner among my friends. Instead of sambar powder you can also dry roast& grind red chillies,corriander seeds,cumin and some pepper. It tastes good too. I used to do this way when I'm out of my MIL's sambar powder.
