Thotakura Perugu Kura


This is the dish which is tasty to eat and healthy for our body too. You can make this dish without oil. You don’t even feel that there is no oil in it. Leafy vegetables are very good for health. We should include leafy vegetables to our diet daily. You can make the same curry with palak too. Definitely give a try.
