Vazhakka Moru Curry or Moru Kalan

This is a dish from Kerala. The thicker version of this is called Kurukku Kalan which is one item for sadhya[a vegetarian feast]. For that its the same recipe except that u may double the coconut grated and add less water. Thinner version is what I'm giving below.

Ingredients:

Raw banana - 1

turmeric powder - 1/4 tsp

curd - 1 cup

curry leaves - a sprig

mustard seeds - 1/2 tsp

fenugreek seeds - 1/2 tsp

dry red chilli - 1 or 2

oil- 2 tsp

salt to taste

for grinding:

grated coconut - 1/2 cup

cumin seeds - 1 tsp

green chilli - 1 or 2[add more if u want it more spicy]

Method:

Peel the skin of the banana and chop into small pieces.

Cook it with a little turmeric powder and salt and some water.

Beat the curd and mix in a cup of water and keep.

Grind together grated coconut,cumin seeds and green chilli.

When the banana is cooked add the coconut mixture and curd in very low flame.

Add some water if desired and keep stirring until heated. Do not let it boil.

Check for salt.

In a small pan heat oil, splutter mustard followed by fenugreek seeds, dry red chilli and curry leaves.

Pour this over the prepared curry.

Done.
