Mor Kuzhambu recipe

I love curd based recipes and have posted many yogurt-based recipes in TMF. When it comes to Mor kuzhambu variety, I usually prepare a version with ground coconut-like Vendakkai mor kuzhambu, mambazha mor kuzhambu, paruppu Urundai Kuzhambu, thenga aracha Kuzhambu. This Pachai Mor Kuzhambu recipe is without coconut.

Pachai Mor Kuzhambu

I learned this South Indian Pachai mor kuzhambu recipe from my Mother in law. Every family has its own way of cooking. This particular version of Pachai Mor Kuzhambu is prepared without any vegetables. In our home, we usually pair it with Idiyappam. I also like making this instant Kuzhambu when I feel like eating Instant Mor Kuzhambu. It is also perfect when we are out of veggies.

Notes

For extra flavoring can saute shallots and garlic, add them to the kuzhambu
If you prefer a watery kuzhambu use a 1:1 ratio of thick curd to water
Avoid cooking the spice powder for a long time as it might turn bitter
if you don't have fenugreek powder, you can add fenugreek seed while tempering
Coconut oil gives a nice flavor to the kuzhambu so preferably use it for the kuzhambu
Adjust the chilli according to your spice
Ginger powder can be added along with other powders
For yellowish kuzhambu add extra turmeric powder
