Mor Kuzhambu, a traditional South Indian dish, specifically from Tamil Nadu and Kerala. It is a yogurt-based curry, characterized by its creamy, light yellow color and flavorful blend of spices. Key ingredients typically include curd (yogurt), coconut milk, and a tempering of mustard seeds, fenugreek seeds, dried red chilies, and curry leaves. Vegetables like okra (vendakkai) or ash gourd (petha) are often added, though in some versions, the curry remains purely vegetarian without any vegetables. Mor Kuzhambu is known for its tangy and slightly spicy flavor profile, making it a refreshing dish, especially during hot weather. It is commonly served with rice.
