Mor Kulambu Recipe

Written By Angela Steffi on Friday, December 30, 2016 | 10:09:00 PM

Mor Kulambu is a traditional South Indian curry recipe made with yogurt / curd and coconut. It is often had during summer days because this recipe is refreshing and makes us feel much better under hot sun. Instead of just drinking buttermilk and having curd for rice this Mor Kuzhambu  will make us enjoy our meal and feel complete.
We can add vegetables to this kulambu to make it more tastier, we can use cucumber, pumpkin or even okra,  We need to fry or saute Okra / vendakkai in oil before adding to the curry to make vendakkai mor Kulambu while the others can be added directly.

Our delicious and tasty mor kulambu is ready to be served with rice. This recipe is really easy to make and it is an amazing and refreshing dish for summer.

Notes: 

  • We can use pumpkin or lady's finger instead of cucumber
  • In case of lady's finger fry or saute them in oil first and then add it to the kulambu to make vendakkai more kulambu.
  • Adding Chana dal helps to thicken the curry a little bit
  • if you have no time to soak chana dal then  you can use roasted channa dal (pottu kadalai) directly 
  • Do not add yogurt and then boil the kulambu for a long time the yogurt may curdle. 
  • More Kulambu recipe tastes best when it is served cold.
