Curd (Mor) Gravies<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n

Mor is the Tamil\/Malayalam word for yoghurt or curds. Curd is a dairy product obtained by coagulating milk in a process called curdling. This is an accessory preparation very similar to dal, pachadi (side dish), tamarind kuzhambu (gravy), dal kuzhambu (gravy) etc. that goes well with rice.<\/p>\n\n\n

Curd is an integral part of Indian cuisine. A South Indian meal is always finished with a flourish with a dollop of curd rice. However, curd is also used in South Indian, particularly Tamil Nadu\/Kerala cuisine to make a variety of gravies (Kozhambu). Curd is a must in Indian cuisine for its digestive as well as cooling effect at the end of a spicy Indian meal. Given below a list of side dish recipes, starting from the simple morkozhmbu, that is an accompaniment to rice dishes.<\/p>\n\n\n
