Vendai kai moorkuzhambu Ladies finger moor kulambu



This is my favourite gravy I like to have it with all he food,this dish helps you to make use of sour curd.It is very different from all our normal gravy's or kuzhmabu for rice.

Ingredients:

Butter milk or curd - 1 cup
Coconut oil - 3 table spoon
Ladies finger or vendaikai - 4 nos
Red chilly - 1 no
Mustard seeds - 1/2 teaspoon
Curry leaves - 5 nos
Salt - as needed

Things for grinding:

Channa dal (Kadalai parupu) - 1 table spoon
Ginger - 1/4 inch
Jeera - 1 teaspoon
Coconut - 1 table spoon
Green chilly - 3 nos
Coriander seeds - 3/4 tablespoon
Method:

1.Wash and cut the Vendaikai or ladies finger as 1/2 inch pieces ,in a kadai add 1 table spoon of coconut oil when it is hot add the vendaikai or ladies finger,fry it until its slimy thing goes off.Once its slimy goes off add some water and allow the ladies finger or vendaikai to get cooked.

2.Now grind the things that are given for grinding .When the vegetable is cooked pour the grind mixture and when it boils off the stove and pour the butter milk,mix i well and add salt.

3.In a small kadai pour the2 table spoon of oil when it gets hot add the mustard and red chilly,when the mustard splatters add the curry leaves and pour it on the moor kuzhmabu.

Moor kuzhambu ready.

Note:

If you are using curd beat it up so that it becomes butter milk
  • You can do moor kuzhambu without any vegetable or you can do it with vegetables like drumstick,Winter melon (pusanikai or white pumpkin) .
  • Vadai moor kuzhambu is almost the same except adding vegetables you add cooked masal vadai which we do with channa dhal(kadalai parupu).
