Mor Kuzhambu

This is a regular curry made with old or very sour plain yogurt/curd. It is easy to prepare and it can also be used a day later it will still taste great,(ofcourse you gotta put the curry in the refrigerator). Vivek likes mor kuzhambu prepared the way his mother does and it tastes awesome! We make it at least once in two weeks.
