Mor kulambu/Buttermilk curry is one of the traditional food of South Indians. This can be serves with rice, dosa and idli. It’s very easy and delicious to make. It’s purely made of buttermilk.My kids are very fond of this. Usually Mor kulambu/Buttermilk curry is made with the vegetables rich in water content like White pumpkin/Pusannikkai, Radish/Mullangi and Chowchow. Potato curry goes well as sidedish for Buttermilk curry with rice.

Also Mor Kuzhambu is prepared with and without coconut and here I am sharing Mor kuzhambu without coconut using White pumpkin. Also this is one among the must to prepare in kerala for their onam sadya or kerala meals.
