Kerala Style Mor Kuzhambhu | White Pumkin Mor Kuzhambhu


I was just looking through my mom's cook book and found this mor kuzhambhu. I usually make mor kuzhambhu by soaking thuvar dal, coriander seeds etc... instead i wanted to try this one.

I am always super careful when making Mor kuzhambhu. I am afraid that the curd would curdle, but now i know the trick. No more curdling!!!

Mor kuzhambhu and parupu usli go well together, but i made Rajasthani Bhindi which made a good side dish for this kuzhambhu. Rajasthani Bhindi' s recipe on its way.
