Pulissery (Morkulambu)

Buttermilk curry (morkulambu) is a traditional savory dish made in Southern part of India. It is usually served with rice and some spicy side dish. The different variations of morkulambu are plain morkulambu (made without any vegetables) or morkulambu with veggies. The veggies that are traditionally used are okra, pumpkin and cucumber but other veggies can also be used. In this recipe, i have used long capsicum cut in half.

It is a very quick and simple recipe and is delicious with rice for a hot summer day.
