Another session of Blogging Marathon has started and for this session I chose combo dishes .For this week I will be sharing combo dishes and today's recipe is a simple and authentic mor kulambhu and potato roast. I have already shared two recipes of mor kulambhu here and here . Today's version is typical Tanjore style vendaikkai mor kulambhu with no onion garlic.As this doesn't have onion and garlic this kulambhu is mostly made during auspicious and fasting days.

 Today I am sharing another yogurt based recipe for the protein rich dishes.My family likes  mor kulambhu  a lot.So I try varieties of yogurt based curries. Kadi is a North Indian version of mor kulambhu whereas gram flour and yogurt mixture is used. Like South Indian version,kadhi has so many versions and popular in many sates.One such version is with kala chann(black chickpeas),quiet popular in Rajasthan. The recipe sounds so simple but the taste is so amazing with piping hot rice.Tastes better if ghee is used for seasoning but I used the cooking oil.                                                                                                              ...

Today's thali is a simple and comforting thali which we usually make it the next day of party food or festive food. This is a very flavorful,slightly tangy kulambhu which aids digestion. As we have a big curry leaves tree in our backyard,my mom makes it atleast every other week.But here in U.S curry leaves are so expensive I make it very rarely,instead I make Poondu(garlic) kulambhu often. Last week end we had a birthday party and get together,had a heavy lunch and dinner.So next day we wanted to have a comforting food,made this kulambhu. As I had little curry leaves,added coriander leaves along with the curry leaves,for my surprise it came out extremely delicious. The menu is White rice Karivepillai Kulambhu(curry leaves kulambhu) Tomato Rasam Beans Poriyal(beans curry) Chow-chow Kottu(chayote dhal) Vathal(home made fryums) Neer mor(Buttermilk)    Karivepillai/Curry leaves Kulambhu Ingredient Quantity Curry...
