Mor Kulambu is one of my favourite kulambu variety. But as hubby is not so keen in eating it, I usually don't prepare it at home. Last month when my hubby's sister visited us, I asked her whether she likes mor kulambu. She readily agreed and I prepared it for her and it also satisfied my craving for mor kulambu. Hubby also tasted it and said that it tasted good. But still he is not completely changed. So I need some other guest to repeat this delicious kulambu. Mor kulambu is prepared with fresh home made butter milk and it tastes great. You can use vegetables like white pumpkin, cucumber or savoury snacks like pakoda or paruppu urundai. Each ingredient gives a unique flavour to the kulambu. Today's recipe has white pumpkin in it. I also prepared raw banana roast to go with it. We had a filling lunch with appalam and hot steaming rice.
