Moru Curry Recipe with step by step pictures and video.Moru Curry is a very simple Kerala style seasoned buttermilk which is a part of Onam sadya.
This moru curry tastes great even with just rice and papadam.This moru curry can be made with coconut or without it but this version I am sharing without coconut and veggies.I am becoming a bit inclined towards Kerala cuisine these days…the aroma of coconut in each dish is awesome 🙂
This is a very simple dish that you can make when you don’t have veggies in stock still can enjoy a good meal with papadam.Hubby appreciated this moru curry, so I am planning to make it often and pair it up with a simple spicy curry.
