    We are starting the 3rd week of BM# 46, this week with Combo Dishes. These combo dishes were suggested by the BM Members and it surely makes a wonderful set of dishes to make. Each combo dishes are famous from different states and cultures. I was surely interested in taking this up.

    However, I couldn't make this before this weekend and it was such a hectic schedule to make all the combos. I was so happy that I managed to make all the combos. This Mor Kuzhambu is typically from Tamil Nadu and very much like the Kadi of North India. I have some varieties of  Mor Kuzhambu and was planning to check out new versions.Vellai Poosanikai Mor Kuzhambu

    So I checked who had suggested this combo and found it was PJ. I landed at her place and checked out her version. It was quite different from how I make and wanted to make her version of Mor Kuzhambu and a paruppu usili. I have made all versions of Usilis, so the only one left out was this Carrot Paruppu Usili.

    I made it for Saturday lunch and everybody loved it so much! In fact, my father loved it so much that he wanted it for dinner as well. Must thank PJ for these delicious dishes!

    For the first day under Combo Dishes, I made Mor Kuzhambu and Carrot Paruppu Usili.Vellai Poosanikai Mor KuzhambuStep by Step Pictures for making Vellai Poosanikai Mor Kuzhambu

      That is such a comforting and delicious combo. I love these buttermilk based dishes but don't make them often cos no one eats at home 🙁
