Mor Kulambu or Moru curry or Moru Ozhichu Curry is very important everyday delicacy in Kerala and is most commonly preferred dish because of its simple flavours. Also found to be cooked very commonly in tamilnadu.

Moru curry or buttermilk curry is made with different vegetables. most commonly with vegetables like white pumpkin, colocassia, yam, ladies finger, tomato, cucumber, ash gourd, Ripe mango & raw banana.  Check out our other Onam Sadhya recipes. Most common of all the curries are White pumpkin moru curry. 

Peeling Chembu is little difficult if those are very small. My mom used to just cook it with skin and peel them like we do for potato. Also few may be allergic to Chembu. In that case, you can replace it with pumpkin, cucumber or any other mor curry vegetables of your choice discussed above.

Tips for making perfect moru curry – Here are few tips for making perfect moru curry or mor kulambu / Mor kuzhambu. Firstly, the buttermilk or curd used for the curry has to be sour. Secondly, after adding the curd, the heat has to be maintained lowest and should not be cooked for longer time as the curry gets the curdled texture. To get the fine texture without curdle, it is suggested to add curd keeping the flame low and just heat it without letting it boil.

It is best to prepare any moru curry the previous night with fresh curd so that the curd gets sour by next noon and gives the apt flavour of the buttermilk curry.

Some of the recipes like varutharacha ulli sambar, pachai milagai kuzhambu, or the kanthari mulagu curry, vanpayar mathanga curry, koorka varutharachathu, Mathanga erissery are soem of the kerala style curry recipes that goes good with steamed rice.
