MOR KUZHAMBU

In my childhood, my eating habits will be similar to my brother... I was a copy cat of him, when it comes to food...my brother doesn't eat veggie's or curd... So I will never touch it. Then when I came to hostel for my higher secondary, no other go should eat the food provided in hostel... So I started eating both,but not all veggie...My brother eats all veggie's...

One day he was asking me, your grown this big and eating like a kid avoiding veggie.. Then I said him, all I learnt from you only... He then asked me, how come you have learnt bad things alone and left the good things... Our fight continuous, then dad will be the one to stop and console... Cherishing old memories is always fun and pleasure... 

Eating Mor kuzhambu is been my recent addiction, my mother dose it often at home, I have tasted twice, but I didn't like that much.. This is my MIL’s version, and the onion added has a nice crunchy taste…

Here is the yummiest Mor Kuzhambu Recipe for you all to taste,Serve with hot rice or dosa and enjoy....! I love Mor Kuzhambu the next day;)

Notes:

Don't saute the onions and tomato for long,then you will not feel the crunchiness while tasting.

I have added Lady's finger as veggie,you can  add other veggies also like fried masala vadai,medhu vadai, pumpkin,chow chow

If your curd is not that sour,then squeeze in lime at the last,it can compensate the taste.

Keep Smiling!:)
