There are some gravies that are simple to make if the spice mix is ready and I like to make a few such mixes for the ease of it. These mixes are perfect for days when you are short of ideas and also do well when you have a few guests coming over. They are complete winners! This is one such recipe. I don't need to make too many things with this, it is complete in itself and has a wholesome taste and flavors attached. You can serve with rice, dosas, appams and even hot parathas. It never fails to please. And on cold days, this is a must make recipe, complete in all ways.
