VENDAKKAI MOREKUZHAMBHU (LADYSFINGER BUTTERMILK GRAVY)

                 Vendakkai/poosanikkai morekuzhambhu is surely a familiar dish among southindian people.Today since i has excess curd in my house decided to make more kuzhambhu.adding vegetable to this gravy is optional.plain gravy can also be made.

Ingredients
Thick Sour buttermilk-1/4 litre
rawrice-2 teaspoon
thoordal-2 teaspoon
greenchilli-2
garlic-3 pods
ginger-3 small pieces
jeera-1 teaspoon
grated coconut-2 teaspoon
Vendakkai/poosanikkai-1 small cup
Salt-to taste

For Seasoning
mustard seeds-1 teaspoon
split uruddal-1/2 teaspoon
curry leaves-few
dry red chillies-2

PREPARATION
Wash and soak rawrice and thoordal about 1 hour and grind it together with garlic,ginger,green chillies,jeera and grated coconut to a smooth paste.Dissolve the buttermilk in the grounded paste.Pour 2 tablespoon of oil in a pan .after oil gets heated add the items given in seasoning.once it splutters add ladysfinger and salt and mix well for about 2 minutes.add little water to boil the vegetable.after vegatable is boiled and water dries add the buttermilk mixed in grinded masala.keep the stove in very low flame and wait till a slight bubble starts coming.Once little bubbles starts coming immediately switch off the stove.Delicious Morekuzhambhu is ready...

Tips
For good taste buttermilk should be thick and sour.
Once after adding buttermilk-masala to the pan , immediately after it starts boiling switch off the stove.Overcooking of gravy will spoil the taste of gravy  and the gravy will start to curdle.
