Sabari mala kadala curry

This is the recipe given by the chef Damodharan in a magazine. He told every years he goes to the sabarimalai temple , at that time this kadala curry is supplied along with parotta and this combination is very famous there... This is very simple version of kadala curry... When I posted this recipe in a food group, some told onion is not used in sabarimalai... Hence those who don't want onion, may avoid that and prepare..
