  • fter 2 hours, drain the water from the dal and grind the dal and rice along with green chili, salt, pepper and ginger to a nice and fluffy paste as we generally do for medhuvada.
  • Add curry leaves to the vada batter and mix well. Heat oil in a pan, when the oil is hot enough, take batter little by little and drop it in oil.
  • No need to worry about the shape. Deep fry the batter in low to medium flame. Deep fry the vada in medium flame till they are golden brown color.

  • Grind all to a nice paste. In a pan or vessel, take the ground paste.
  • Add yoghurt, turmeric powder
  • Mix well and keep the vessel over the flame. Cook the mixture over the medium flame
  • When the morkuzhambu starts forming forth and it is about to boil, remove from flame. Add salt and mix well. We can add salt before boiling also but it may dilute the curd so it is better to add salt after switching off the flame.
  • Heat oil in a pan and add mustard seeds. When the mustard seeds starts to sputter, red chilli, fenugreek seeds, and curry leaves and then fry for 5 seconds.
  • Add these seasoned ingredients to the morkuzhambu.
