Today I
am going to share a very traditional recipe of Tamil Nadu, it is one of the
most authentic delicacy served in weddings and full meal course. We usually
make more kuzhambus with different types of vegetables or even just plain more
kuzhambu, but this one is just awesome. The bondas made out of urad dal, are
soaked in water and then dropped into the more kuzhambu, which absorbs the
spicy butter milk and is extremely soft, which in turn just melts in your mouth
and taste heavenly. Do try it out friends and post your comments here. Keep
visiting for more delightful recipes from my kitchen.

Method
Preparing
the Bondas
Wash
and soak the urad dal along with rice in water for about 2 hours. After that,
wash it thoroughly, drain the water and grind the dal along with green chilli
and salt in grinder. Grind until it is fluffy and soft, do not add water, just
sprinkle little when grinding.
Transfer
it to a bowl. Add the black pepper corns, curry leaves, chopped ginger and mix
thoroughly.
Heat
oil in a kadai, when the oil is hot enough, make small balls and drop it into
the oil slowly.
When dropping
the bondas, lower the flame. Let the bondas cook until golden brown colour in
medium flame on all the sides. Now remove it transfer it to a bowl.
Similarly
make all the bondas. Take
warm water in a wide bowl. Drop the fried bonda’s in warm water. Let it sit for
few minutes. Then drain all the water completely and keep it aside.
Now
Let’s prepare the More Kuzhambu/Mor Kuzhambu
Soak
the rice, thoor dal, dhania/coriander seeds, cumin seeds mentioned under
grinding for 20 minutes in water.
Drain
the water and grind them along with green chillies, ginger and grated coconut
to a fine paste.
Churn/beat
the curd/yogurt with turmeric powder and salt, this step is essential to avoid
any lumps.
Heat
oil in a pan, splutter mustard seeds, then add cumin seeds, dry red chillies,
curry leaves and fry for 20- 30 secs.
Now add
the ground paste and stir it well along with ¼ cup of water and salt.
When
this mixture comes to rolling boil, add the churned buttermilk .
Let it come to
boil in low flame and switch off the stove in 2-3 minutes. This step is
essential to maintain the kuzhambu in right consistency.
Now add
the fried and soaked Bondas to the Morekuzhambu. Soak the bondas in
morekuzhambu for atleast 10-15 minutes before serving.
Delicious
and blissful Bonda More Kuzhambu is ready to be enjoyed, serve it hot with
steamed rice along with vazhakkaivaruval or
vendakkaivaruaval.
