Yes. In a tablespoon of oil fry some chopped onion, tomato. Add some vegetable cubes (like potato, cauliflower, carrot, peas etc) and fry for few seconds. Add a pinch of salt and enough water and bring to boil till the vegetables are soft. Then add the left over Kuzhambu and allow to boil for few seconds.
