Morru Kulambu

Cooking at a bachelors place is like lifting a mountain. We can never assume that they would have all the ingredients that are required for cooking more important they will not have the proper utensils to cook(like mixers etc). There are some ppl who always stock up their kitchen with all the needed things irrespective of whether they cook or not. Thankfully I found everything that was needed for making Morru Kulambhu at a bachelors place.

It doesnt take much of preparation time and tasts good, Some like to grind the powder for Morru Kulambhu finely I like it when its coarse.


1. In a mixer grind 2 tbsps Toor Dhal, 1 1/2 tbsps Rice, 2 Red Chillies, 1/2 tbsp Cumin Seeds coarsely.

2. Mix Water with the coarse powder and keep aside.

3. Heat a wok add 2 tbsps of Cooking Oil, when hot add 1/2 tsp Mustard Seeds and let it splutter.

4. Now add the Curry Leaves and Sliced Onions and allow it to turn golden brown.
