           Buttermilk curry (moar kulambu) is a traditional savory dish made in southern part of india. It is usually served with rice and some spicy side dish. It goes very well with fish fry. The different variations of mor kulambu are plain mor kulambu (made without any vegetables) or mor kulambu with veggies. The veggies that are traditionally used are okra, pumpkin and cucumber. Other veggies like squash varieties(zuccini, yellow, acorn, butternut), cabbage or cauliflower can also be used instead.
