Mor Kuzhambu | Majjiga Pulusu

Mor Kuzhambu
Majjiga Pulusu/Mor Kuzhambu is a buttermilk dish, in which buttermilk is cooked along with spices to perfection. I have already few mor kuzhambu recipes & here I'm sharing one more recipe which is my mom's version of this dish. The only difference is I used raw rice instead of channa dal or besan to thicken the pulusu. Adding okra's is totally optional & you can easily omit it. I came across a recipe few days back & loved the idea of adding fried okra to it. You can also add your choice of steamed veggies to the dish for more flavor.

Making majjiga pulusu

- Cook on low heat & bring it to boil. Continue to cook on low heat.
Tadka
- Mean while prepare the tadka by heat a pan with oil. Add in mustards, jeera, red chili's & hing. Once the mustard starts jumping switch off heat.

- Serve mor kuzhambu /majjiga pulusu warm or cold along with rice.
Note
- If you feel the curd mixture is still thick add in little extra water to liquify it. 
- Adding fried okra is optional.
- I love serving majjiga pulusu cold rather than warm. You can feel the flavor in it when it is cold rather than warm.
- Don't cook this dish on high heat, it will break the buttermilk structure & will make it watery.
