Simple Mor Kuzhambu


Mor Kuzhambu is one of the quick and tastiest South Indian dishes. Okra and Ash gourd can added to the dish. You can also add medu vada into mor kuzhambu but I have prepared this without any vegetables or vada. Cook the curry in low flame and use slightly sour curd for better taste. It can served with White rice and Potato fry.
