Vendakkai Mor kuzhambu recipe with step by step pictures. Yogurt okra curry which is made with okra, yogurt and coconut.
I have a friend who is a iyengar. She used to bring this curry with a lovely potato roast and do I need to give any explanations for this combo. It tasted awesome. I think everyone is aware of iyengar recipes. They make each of their foods different from us.It always taste unique. I definitely want to post this recipe in my blog. Her mom was so kind enough to give me her recipe. As soon as I got the recipe in hand I made it.
AActually I made a huge batch which was enough for my perimma’s family as well as ours. We also gave some to my neighbours house. I want you all to give this a try. I want give a tiny tip which she gave me. This mor kulambu taste way better the next day. So hope you will try this and tell me how it came.

How lovely to see your wholesome South Indian dishes ;these days all the attention's hogged by unhealthy Western junk food! Just a suggestion here- if convenient,please do put in a snap of the dals separated (rather than mixed together) so that it's easier to identify. The fault is mine as some of the supermarkets where I live simply label it as 'Lentils' & I haven't a clue about what to buy. Thanks & keep cooking!
