Vendakkai Mor Kuzhambu | Okra Moor Kulambu Recipe

Vendakkai Mor Kuzhambu | Okra Moor Kulambu Recipe

Rava-Ladoo-Sooji-Laddu-recipe
Vendakkai Mor Kuzhambu or moor kulambu is mildly spiced yogurt base South Indian curry, mostly served with steamed rice as side. Mor kuzhambu made with variety of vegetables, fritters and the base curry or gravy recipes remains same with little variations. Mor kuzhambu is like answer to North Indian Kadhi and it's also curd base and chana dal is used instead of besan, both do taste little similar too.


If you are new to mor kulambu then there are high chances you have curdled curry as end product but if you pay little attention and do not let the gravy boil after adding curd then you will get perfect mor kuzhambu, it's really easy, quick and delicious. I still remember almost a decade back I made mor kuzhambu without referring any recipe and endup having curdled kulambu though the taste was very nice. Then of course I learnt the recipe and now there's never a problem with curd curdleing. So read and follow the steps to have perfect moor kuzhambu too, though I personally like to add okra/vendakkai compare to any other vegetable but you can add any vegetable of choice. If using chow-chow, bottle gourd etc then boil the vegetable first before adding to kuzhambu.

Mor kuzhambu and kadhi taste is very similar if followed before recipe, as some people add tuvar/ahar dal instead of chana dal. And like kadhi more kuzhambu also taste better later or next day. Serve with steamed rice and it's enough on it's own but a simple potato fry taste yum along too and I had to make tomato dal for DH as he won't eat yogurt base curry whether it's kadhi or mor kuzhambu!
