MOR KUZHAMBU

My son just loves this kuzhambu. He can have it for breakfast, lunch and dinner seven days a week.I used to make this whenever I work from home. I usually work from home when he has early dismissal from school. This can be made almost instantly so it comes handy when I am tied up with work and at the same time can serve fresh lunch when he is back home in the afternoon. He calls this as 'Early dismissal Kuzhambu'.
This can be made either with Ash gourd(White pumpkin) or Ladies finger.Best when served with Cheppangizhangu roast

Ladies finger/Ash gourd
(White pumpkin) chopped

3.Beat the butter milk, add turmeric powder and salt 

                                      

5.Add the ground paste to the buttermilk and mix well.Keep this aside

    


6.Ladies Finger:

If using ladies finger cut the vegetable into 1 inch piece.
Add 1 tsp of oil in a pan and fry the ladies finger until it changes the color and well fried.
White pumpkin (Ash gourd)
Cut the vegetable into 1 inch cubes and cook in little water.
7.Now add the butter milk in a pan and bring to a boil. When it starts boiling immediately remove it from the flame

8.Now add the fried ladies finger or boiled ash gourd

9.Temper the butter milk with 1 tsp oil, mustard seeds,Red chilli  and curry leaves



Notes:

  • Adding coconut is completely optional
  • Mor Kuzhambu can also be prepared without adding any vegetable
  • Immediately switch off the flame once the butter milk comes to a boil. Otherwise it will curdle easily
  • The butter milk should not be thin.I used to prepare this with old curd without adding water. Just beat it well.

  7. I do have a doubt! You don't publish any comments in your blog?! Many times I add a comment and its not at all published.

    I just don't comment mechanically and move on to next blog. I always check back to see whether the blog owner replies to my comment or not. :)

    I know, replying might be difficult with time constraints, but was wondering why the comments are not even published?! Any-ways, its your blog and your wish! Am just curious and thought of asking you this question for a long time, and today I did! :)
