When I first broached the subject of using Avocado in this dish, everyone frowned at me. Once they tasted it, they were licking their fingers and had seconds. Here is the recipe for you to try out.
Preparation time - 5 minutes
Ingredients:
Ripe Avocado - 1
Grated coconut - 3-4 Table spoons
Red Chili - 2
Fresh curry leaves - 6 leaves washed
Mustard Seeds - 1/2 teaspoon
Cooking oil - 1-2 teaspoons
Turmeric powder - 1/8 teaspoon
Yoghurt - 2 cups
Salt - 1/2 teaspoon
Procedure:
In a saucepan add the turmeric powder, salt, scooped avocado and the yoghurt.
Grind the coconut, 1 chili, curry leaves to a smooth paste. You can use a green chili instead of red.
Mix the paste into the same saucepan with other ingredients
Use a hand blender to mix the avocado with the yoghurt and other ingredients.
Heat the cooking oil in a small pan and add the mustard seeds and 1 chilli. Once the mustard seeds crackles, pour over into the saucepan. mix it and taste. Adjust for salt and add red chilli powder/sambar powder per your taste if needed.
Your Mor Kuzhambu (yoghurt dish) is ready to be enjoyed with Rice and vegetable of your choice, Dosa, idly or anything else you like. Here is a picture of what this looks like.
Variations:
- If you dont have coconut or a way to grind, just use 3/4 teaspoon of sambar powder instead.
- If you make Mor Kuzhambu using a different method, just add an avocado scooped and blend it in using a hand blender.
