    more-kuzhambu-with-onion

    Mor kuzhambu is a easy and quick fix for a south Indian tamil lunch fix. Adding onion in the masala we grind, makes it really flavorful. Full video recipe.

    I love mor kuzhambu, though already I have two versions, again I am posting this one is coz, this is my most favorite, the way my mom and MIL does. The only difference between the one made by them is, my mom grinds the paste coarsely, while MIL grinds smoothly.

    Believe me, though both are similar recipes, it’s flavour and texture is so different. I was not a big fan of this until I got married. Once MIL made this and I told her I don’t like mor kuzhambu, but when I had it, I loved it. Then realised that only the coarse ground items were bothering me. These days I love to make it with onion only and loving it a lot. So here’s my one more version.

    Mor kuzhambu with onion recipe
    Recipe Cuisine: Indian  |  Recipe Category: Lunch
    Prep Time: 1 Hr soaking time  |  Cook time: 15 mins   |  Serves: 2

    Ingredients

    Curd – 1 & ½ cup

    Vegetable (I used banana stem) – ½ cup

    Turmeric – ¼ tsp

    Salt – As needed

    To grind

    Coconut – ¼ cup

    Toor dal – 1 tbsp

    Coriander seeds – 1 tsp

    Cumin seeds – 1 tsp

    Small onion – 1

    Ginger – ½ inch piece

    Green chillies - 4

    To temper

    Oil – 1 tsp

    Mustard – ½ tsp

    Red chilli – 1

    Curry leaves – 1 sprig

    Mor kuzhambu method:

      1. Soak toor dal atleast 1 hr. Gather the rest of the ingredients under 'To grind' table. Meanwhile you can boil the vegetable you are going to add in mor kuzhambu.

    1-ready

      1. Grind the ingredients under 'To grind' table, in a blender to a smooth paste.

    2-grind

      1. Beat the curd smoothly. Mix curd, ground paste, turmeric well. Adjust water, approximately one more cup of water.

    3-beat

      1. Heat this over the flame and add the boiled vegetable.

    4-boil

      1. When it is about to boil, froths and raises switch off the flame immediately and temper with the items given under 'To temper' table and mix in the kuzhambu.

    5-ready

     

    Notes

    • Beat the curd smoothly before mixing the ground items. If not beaten properly, the kuzhambu may break and look like curdled milk.
    • Do not boil the kuzhambu, just when it is about to boil, switch off the flame.
    • You can use any vegetable like chow chow/ chayote, white pumpkin, brinjal, ladies finder etc.

    Serve with rice and potato curry or paruppu usili the best combo.

      Hi Raji. Am a big fan of your blog and your recipes. Tryly feels like the way I would want to make the things my own way is just so much like yours with that home touch! I especially love your south Indian and baking recipes. Thank you for making my life simple! 🙂
      One kind request. If you can please update recipe titles as well as ingredients with Indian or English names. I find myself lost at times when trying to infer some south Indian recipe of yours that I miss out on making everything that you post.

      Once again a big thanks for all your wonderful work here!
