Directions
This tangy, comforting curry features a creamy yogurt or buttermilk base blended with aromatic spices like ginger, cumin, and fenugreek.
The spice mixture is gently sautéed in oil with curry leaves and red chili, infusing the curry with fragrant, complex flavors. The yogurt base is then carefully heated, resulting in a luxuriously smooth and nourishing dish.
Traditionally served with rice, moru curry offers a cooling contrast to the earthy spices, making it a delightful South Indian specialty.
