being a south indian, rice has been our staple food and it is very common for my lunch and dinner on a day to day basis. but with a plain rice, it needs a simple and easy curry or sambar or rasam recipes as a side dish. i generally end up making coconut based sambar with choice of veggies or perhaps with a simple udupi rasam or pepper rasam. but i generally get bored with these recipes and i then lookout for other traditional recipes collection. moru curry is one such recent inclusion to my list and i typically end up making this for my weekend lunch. my meal with rice is 2 step process with 1st step mixing rice with curry and 2nd step with curd and pickle. moru curry combines these 2 steps and thus giving a content of curry and also curd rice.
the moru curry recipe is extremely simple and easy to make, yet i would like to add some tips and suggestions. firstly, i would heavily recommend using sour curd or buttermilk for a lip-smacking tasty curry. as a matter of fact, you should be using sour curd or yoghurt for any curd based curry recipe. secondly, whisk the curd or buttermilk properly before adding it to the curry base. otherwise, it may curdle out and you may not get the desired consistency. lastly, once the buttermilk is added, stir it continuously so that it mixes with spice properly.
