    Mor Kuzhambu

    Mor Kuzhambu or buttermilk curry is just a quick curry. But we love it and it tastes too delicious. We can prepare it in just 15 mins. It goes very well with Rice and any spicy side dish.

    In this recipe, I am sharing the authentic version of soaking the lentils and preparing the curry. I also have a quick version. Check out my quick and instant more kuzhambu recipe too.

    Vendakkai mor kuzhambu without coconut

    Adding coconut to the gravy gives a nice volume and taste to the gravy. But you may also skip it if you run out of coconut or If you do not want to include it.

    Prep Work

    Beat the curd - Beating the curd is a very important step. If the curd is not beaten properly it will remain as lumps when added to the curry. Even beating of the curd ensures it's creamy and blends evenly.

    Soaking Time - Make sure to soak the Coriander seeds, Rice, Toor dal, and Cumin seeds for 20 to 30 mins before you blend them into a paste. It ensures the ingredients are soft and gets blended smoothly.

    Saute the Vegetables - Saute the vegetables and keep them ready.
