Rasakalan

Rasakalan is a delectable South Indian curry that hails from the state of Kerala. It is a traditional dish that holds a special place in Kerala’s rich culinary heritage. Rasakalan is a unique combination of yogurt, coconut, and assorted vegetables, cooked together to create a creamy and flavorsome curry.

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. Instant Mor Kuzhambu without coconut. 

Why the name “rasa kalan”

The word “rasakalan” can be broken down into two parts: “rasa” means juice or essence, and “kalan” refers to a curry made with yogurt and coconut

Vegetable for temple style rasakaalan

Rasakalan traditionally incorporates a variety of vegetables, typically chosen for their flavors, textures, and ability to complement the creamy yogurt and coconut gravy. I have used an ash gourd. You can also use yellow pumpkin, raw plantain,  carrot drumstick, yam, etc.

Guruvayur Rasa kalan

Guruvayur temple-style rasakalan is a variation of the traditional Rasakalan curry that is specifically associated with Guruvayur, a town in the Thrissur district of Kerala, India. Guruvayur is famous for its ancient Krishna temple, and this unique version of Rasakalan is often served as an offering or prasad to Lord Krishna during religious ceremonies and festivals.

WILL MOR KULAMBU CURDLE IF I BOIL?

Since we grind the curd, it won’t curdle. If add curd directly, it might curdle.

WHAT TASTES BEST WITH MORU CURRY?

Yes, Mor kachiyathu tastes best with rasam varieties potato fry /seppankizhangu fry/ Paruppu usili is our family favorite combo.
