Method
For the morkuzhambu, soak the tuvaram parupu and kadalai parupu for 1 hour. Grind the parupu with green chili, cumin seeds and coconut. Add this to the well beaten curd and set aside
For the parupu urundai, soak the tuvaram parupu for 1 hour. Grind this with red chili without adding water. No water should be added. Make it to a coarse paste. Add the kasoori methi or the fresh fenugreek leaves and mix well. Also add salt, turmeric and asafetida.
Make small balls (little smaller than lime) and arrange them on a greased idli plate and steam cook the balls for 5 – 7 minutes.
Remove the balls once done and set aside
Heat the mor kuzhambu mixture and bring it to a simmer. Now add the balls slowly and allow it to cook until the balls float on top.
Heat a small pan and add oil, once hot crackle the mustard seeds. Add the red chili and curry leaves and add this to the parupu urundai mor kuzhambu
Now the vendaya keerai parupu urundai mor kuzhambu is ready to be served.

  14. I have a question....how do you make a paste without adding water...the blender won't run and I don't have anything to grind in. Unless you can dry grind it.....any suggestions?

    1. Hi, You need to do some grinding before adding water... It will be like a wet coarse sand but without the water.. It is easier this way. If you want to add water, add as little as possible initially...
