Mor Kulambu / Buttermilk Gravy

Mor kulambu or Buttermilk gravy is one of the tastiest South Indian dish made with buttermilk and served with rice. Some times vegetables like okra and ash gourd are added to the dish, but here I have made this without adding any vegetables

• Transfer this liquid into another bowl

For making paste to be mixed with Buttermilk
