Bonda Mor Kuzhambu Recipe/Ullundhu Bonda Mor Kuzhambu Recipe/Urad Dal Fritters in Spiced Yogurt Curry

Today I am going to share a very traditional recipe of Tamil Nadu, it is one of the most authentic delicacy served in weddings and full meal course. We usually make more kuzhambus with different types of vegetables or even just plain more kuzhambu, but this one is just awesome. The bondas made out of urad dal, are soaked in water and then dropped into the more kuzhambu, which absorbs the spicy butter milk and is extremely soft, which in turn just melts in your mouth and taste heavenly. Do try it out friends and post your comments here. Keep visiting for more delightful recipes from my kitchen.

Method
Preparing the Bondas
Wash and soak the urad dal along with rice in water for about 2 hours. After that, wash it thoroughly, drain the water and grind the dal along with green chilli and salt in grinder. Grind until it is fluffy and soft, do not add water, just sprinkle little when grinding.

Transfer it to a bowl. Add the black pepper corns, curry leaves, chopped ginger and mix thoroughly.

Heat oil in a kadai, when the oil is hot enough, make small balls and drop it into the oil slowly.

When dropping the bondas, lower the flame. Let the bondas cook until golden brown colour in medium flame on all the sides. Now remove it transfer it to a bowl. 

Similarly make all the bondas. Take warm water in a wide bowl. Drop the fried bonda’s in warm water. Let it sit for few minutes. Then drain all the water completely and keep it aside.

Now Let’s prepare the More Kuzhambu/Mor Kuzhambu

Soak the rice, thoor dal, dhania/coriander seeds, cumin seeds mentioned under grinding for 20 minutes in water.

Drain the water and grind them along with green chillies, ginger and grated coconut to a fine paste.

Churn/beat the curd/yogurt with turmeric powder and salt, this step is essential to avoid any lumps.

Heat oil in a pan, splutter mustard seeds, then add cumin seeds, dry red chillies, curry leaves and fry for 20- 30 secs.

Now add the ground paste and stir it well along with ¼ cup of water and salt.

When this mixture comes to rolling boil, add the churned buttermilk . 

Let it come to boil in low flame and switch off the stove in 2-3 minutes. This step is essential to maintain the kuzhambu in right consistency.

Now add the fried and soaked Bondas to the Morekuzhambu. Soak the bondas in morekuzhambu for atleast 10-15 minutes before serving.
