Muttai Curry

I am posting this recipe for my bro. Its his favourite. In our childhood days when we used to travel by train to kerala, we used to see/hear the vendors selling "parotta-muttai curry". And my bro would use to imitate it the same way. But I tasted this item long after and this is one of our favourites from that time on. I learnt this recipe from the many blogs that I have been following. This would be a good side dish for appam / idiyappam / pathiri etc..
