kulambu recipes are very common in most of the households in southern india. however more kulambu recipe is a special and is usually prepared during occasions or even during religious festivals. unlike other kulambu recipes, mor kulambu recipe has a sour and spicy taste combination due to buttermilk plus chillies and other spices. moreover mor kuzhambu recipe is very popular with bhindi or okra but i used winter melon and cucumber as i was running short of okra. if you are using the okra, make sure to fry them in coconut oil before adding them to buttermilk based curry.

while the recipe of mor kuzhambu recipe is extremely simple, but some tips and variations. firstly, to prepare this curry i would heavily recommend to use slightly sour buttermilk for tangy and spicy buttermilk kuzhambu recipe. if you do not have a sour curd you can also add 1-2 tsp of lemon juice. secondly, always cook the curry or the buttermilk in a low flame. lastly, i have used pumpkin and cucumber as the vegetables for this recipe. you can also use the combination of other vegetables like eggplant, drumsticks and okra. again make sure to fry the okars separately before adding it to the curry.

Good going Hebbar’s. Being from Dharmastala and now in US I refer to you site for most recipes. Looking forward for more Udupi cuisines so that I need not call home for them 🙂
