Pulissery Recipe

Pulissery is a Kerala recipe mainly made with thick buttermilk or curd with added seasoning.

Pulissery also known as “Mor Curry” or “Mor Kachiyathu” is made in different ways with coconut or without coconut. Today I am posting a recipe without coconut. It is good for health particularly during summer. It keeps the body cool. Pulissery or mor curry can be prepared in 5 minutes.

Just heat oil, add mustard, cumin and fenugreek seeds. Let them splutter and then add onions, ginger, garlic and green chillis. Add salt and turmeric and let the onions soften. Add buttermilk and let it also cook to get the flavours of onion and garlic. Simple!! isn’t it?? Let’s rock it!!
