Back in my hometown Kerala, moru curry is a staple at most homes!
This is such a simple curry with just two main ingredients Yogurt or buttermilk and Coconut and makes a perfect n soothing accompaniment with rice .
You can add veggies as well like melons ,yams or more flavoring like shallots, garlic and ginger and make it even richer and yummier!
I chose to add some ground gooseberries and made my father’s favorite Nellikka Moru curryJ
