Kachimoru/Moru kachiyathu

(from Presi’s recipe box)

Ingredients

  • 1. Buttermilk – 1/2 ltr/ 500 ml ( room temperature)
  • 2. Small onion – 4-5
  • Ginger – 2 tsp, chopped
  • Green chili – 3-4
  • Red chili – 2
  • Turmeric powder – 1/4 – 1/2 tsp
  • 3. Mustard – 1/4 tsp
  • Fenugreek – a pinch
  • 4. Curry leaves
  • 5. Salt
  • Oil

Directions

  1. Heat oil in a pan & splutter mustard & fenugreek seeds. Add red chili, small onion, ginger, green chili, curry leaves. Fry it for 1-2 minutes. Add turmeric powder & salt. Mix well. Add buttermilk and stir. Stir continuously until the steam comes through the spatula. Dont let it boil. It will take around 5-7 minutes. After removing from gas, stir for a few more minutes.

  2. Notes: It can be refrigerated for 3-4 days. It’s important that the buttermilk should be at room temperature, otherwise it may curdle. I use low fat buttermilk. If you are using full fat buttermilk, you can add around 1/4 cup water also.
