Whisk the curd / plain yogurt well and add it to the pan. You can also run the curd in a mixie (pulse once or twice) and add it for a smooth gravy. Immediately switch off the flame. Cooking the curd may curdle the kuzhambu.

    Plan to try it this week. Can I use store bought buttermilk for this?

    Your recipe says “whisk yoghurt and add”. Does this mean I whisk the yoghurt till it turns to buttermilk…, or I whisk the yoghurt to make it smooth?

    I usually use buttermilk for mor kulambu. I am not sure if I can add plain yoghurt instead of buttermilk. Pls confirm.
