Kerala Style buttermilk sambar (Pulissery / Mor Kuzhambu) is a sweet and sour yogurt based vegetable gravy from the Kerala Cuisine. At home we call it Mor Kozhambu and use ash gourd or pineapple to make this dish. During the mango season, we also use ripe mangoes. This combination of ground coconut along with plant yogurt simmered in pineapple, mango or ash gourd is absolutely delectable. Serve Kerala Style Pulissery Recipe (Mor Kuzhambu) with steamed whole rice or millets as a sambar and with rotis as a dip.
