Moru Curry (Kerala Style Seasoned Buttermilk) + Video

Moru Curry Recipe is Kerala style seasoned buttermilk which is served as a part of Onam sadya. It can be made with or without coconut. Here is how to make moru curry without coconut.

Yet another recipe from my Kitchen which is an integral part of Onam Sadya. This Kerala style seasoned buttermilk curry or Moru Curry Recipe is nothing but Buttermilk seasoned with Indian spices like ginger, garlic, green chilies, shallots, curry leaves etc. Some people make it with coconut and some without coconut.

It is one of the dishes made for Onam Sadya or the spread that is made for the festival of Onam. Like most of the Sadya dishes, this is also super quick and easy to make and hardly takes 5 minutes to whip up. Moru Curry Recipe tastes delicious with rice but I also like savouring it just as it is as well.

Tangy, subtly spicy, aromatic and outrightly lip-smacking this curry perks up my mood every time I eat it!

On that note, here is step by step process to make Moru Curry Recipe:

Step By Step Moru Curry Recipe

1. Heat oil in a pan. When the oil is hot, add mustard seeds, fenugreek seeds, cumin seeds and dry red chilies. Let them splutter for a few seconds.

2. Add curry leaves, ginger, garlic and green chilies and fry for a few seconds.

3. Add shallots and fry till slightly browned.

4. Add turmeric powder and switch off the heat.

5. Add buttermilk and mix well.

6. Switch on the heat and cook the curry on low heat till it just starts to boil. Do not let the curry boil. Keep stirring continuously. Switch off the heat. Serve Moru Curry with steamed rice.
