Mor Kuzhambu

Now that I mentioned about Mor Kuzhambu in my last post, I thought I should post the recipe of this simple, yet tasty sauce using Yoghurt (curd). Another comfort food from the kitchens of south India. Its like the punjabi/Gujrati kaddi.

Ingredients:

• Yoghart (Curd) - 1 Cup
  
• Green Chillies - 4 nos
• Popped dhal - 2 Tsp
• Grated/Chopped Cocunut - 1 1/2 Tsp
• Jeera Powder - 1 Tsp
• Tumeric Powder - 1/4 Tsp
  
• Ginger paste - 1 Tsp
• Mustard Seeds - 1/2 Tsp
• Fenugreek Seeds - 1/2 Tsp
• Curry Leaves - 1 Sprig
• Red Chilli - 1 nos
• Asafoetida powder - 1 Pinch
• Salt to taste
• Oil - 1 1/2 Tsp
  

Method:

Grind Coconut, Chillies, Ginger Paste, Jeera Powder, Tumeric Powder and Popped Dhal into a smooth paste with some water. Now pour in the Yoghurt and whisk it into the mixture.
Heat oil in a sauce pan add the Mustard Seeds, Fenugreek seeds, curry leaves, Red Chilli and Asafoetida, now add the ground mixture, salt and let it boil. And thats about, its ready.

Let the sauce cool and enjoy with Rice. I personally dont like it too hot.
