Notes

  1.  Okra can also be sautés in little oil and cooked in Water alternatively
  2. Chow chow, white pumpkin, arbi can be used instead of ladies finger. Boil the vegetables and add it to the Kuzhambu
  3. My mother says 2 days old curd tastes great for Mor kuzhambu
  4. Mor Kuzhambu can also be prepared without any veggies
  5.  Over cooking Moor kuzhambu may result in curdling
  6.  Adjust water according to the consistency you desire
