is a traditional South Indian Kuzhambu variety. Kulambu is prepared with lentil balls soaked in buttermilk.

When you resume blogging around Diwali time the feed is full of Diwali special preparation – for a sweet tooth person like me it is all sweets. I still have lot of special Diwali special preparation pending to post. Instead of posting all sweets, I thought of giving a break for sweets and start posting some everyday cooking recipes.

Growing up Amma frequently makes Paruppu Urundai Mor Kuzhambu without onion/garlic. As I mentioned in my Paruppu Urundai Kara Kuzhambu post somehow my neighbor Aunty’s tamarind-based Kuzhambu became our favorite and I had almost forgotten how to make this Mor Kuzhambu.

My sister got married recently and during our India trip Amma was writing recipes for her. Me and my sister where discussing about all childhood favorite dishes and this Kuzhambu came in the topic. Here it is in TMF😊

I usually do Urundai Kuzhambu on weekends because I assume it is time consuming and also can have a leisure food on weekends. Recently I realized if planned well Paruppu Urundai Mor Kuzhambu can be prepared with in 30 minutes. Yes you heard me right. For soaking you might need extra time but for cooking and putting everything together, this buttermilk based lentil ball kulambu can be prepared in Half an hour.

When it comes to lentil balls there are many versions- toor Dal/ Channa Dal. I generally prefer adding more toor Dal and less Channa Dal.

Sauting the lentil mixture gives a nice soft Urundai Kuzhambu.  Kuzhambu tasted yummy with Vazhakkai podi curry, Arbi curry, potato.

Notes

  1. Instead of Channa Dal Toor dal combo can make Urundai with all Channa Dal/ toor Dal combo
  2. Adjust the water according to the consistency you prefer the Kuzhambu
  3. sauting Dal mixture is optional but that gives a nice texture to the Kuzhambu
    Cook Kuzhambu in a wide pan so that while boiling the Urundai is well immersed in Kuzhambu 
  4. Make the ball without giving much pressure else the Kuzhambu won’t get absorbed in the balls
