Mor Kali (Mor Koozh) is a traditional recipe made using butter milk and rice flour. We can use it for the breakfast or for the evening tiffen. Its a dish which can be made very quickly. We can make it like upma or we can cut this mor kali in pieces and serve. Also if we add more oil and keep it in low flame for some more time, then the cooked mor kali will crumble and become even more yummy and crispy.

It’s one of the forgotten recipe. Many of you may fondly remember Mor Kali being made by your mom / grand mom for an  evening snack in your school days and it’s a favorite for many. The Mor Milagai (‘Kandhal’ / Sun dried chilies) is special in this recipe, which enhances the taste and flavor of Mor Koozh.

Print Recipe

Ingredients

  • 1 Cup Rice Flour 1 Cup - 250ml
  • 1 Cup Sour Yogurt
  • 2 Cups Water

For Tempering

  • 3 tbsp Sesame Oil
  • 1 tsp Mustard Seeds
  • Few Curry leaves
  • 4 Mor Milagai If we dont have Mor Milagai, we can use Red Chili
  • 2 Pinch Asafoetida (Asafetida / Hing)

For Garnishing

  • 2 tsp Sesame Oil

Instructions

  • Take a square container or plate and grease it with oil and set it aside
  • Take curd in a bowl and add water and beat the curd well to make it to a thin butter milk. Mix one cup of rice flour with the prepared sour butter milk. Add the salt and stir well so that there are no lumps
  • Heat the kadai (vanali) and add Sesame oil. Once the oil gets heat, add the mustard seeds. When the mustard seeds starts to sputter add the Mor Milagai, Hing and curry leaves and mix well.
  • Add the rice flour/buttter milk mixture now and mix it well. Keep the flame low.
  • When the mixture becomes thick and shiny, add 2 teaspoon of gingelly oil and keep stirring. Keep stirring till the mixture rolls like a ball without sticking to the sides of the pan. If you wet you fingers with cold water and touch the mor kali, it should not stick to the fingers. If you feel sticky, stir the mixture in low flame for more time till it becomes non-sticky.
  • Pour the mor kali mixture to a greased plate. Take a spoon and in the back of the spoon, grease it with oil. Use the back of the spoon to level the mor kali mixture in the greased plate. Allow it to cool and then cut into cubes and serve it warm!
  • The easy and delicious Mor Kali is ready to serve!

Notes

  1. We can serve the Mor Kali as upma or we can could own and cut into pieces and serve as a savoury cake.
  2. Mor Milagai is a sun-dried and fried chili. If we don't have stock of it, then we can use regular red chili. The speciality of this recipe is Mor Milagai. 
  3. Sesame oil gives nice flavor. But we can use regular cooking oil too but the taste will be compromised 
  4. We can also try making it with Dosa/Idli batter.  Dilute it with water or mor and make it the same way.
  5. Few Variations can be made
    • You can grind coconut with red & green chilies and add it to the batter
    • Instead of Rice flour, you can make this with Rava (Semolina)
