Morekali

14 Comments

Buttermilk is called as moru in Tamil. Morekali is a very traditional delicacy from Tamil Brahmin cuisine. It is actually a spicy and a tangy porridge cake cooked with sour buttermilk and rice flour. And for tempering moremolagai ( red chillies soaked in salted buttermilk and sundried) are used to make it spicy. It also gives a good crunch to this dish.
It’s one of my most favourite dish and am very happy to share this recipe with you all:)

Ingredients

Rice flour- 1 cup

Sour butter milk- 2 cups

Salt to taste

Hing- 1/4th tsp

Sesame oil- 4-5 tbsps

Mustard- 1 tsp

Split urad dal ( ullundhu) – 1 tsp

Chana dal ( chick peas/ Kadalai paruppu)- 1 tsp

More molagai ( preserved red chillies)- 10-12

Curry leaves – few

Method

In a big bowl, add rice flour, salt , hing and butter milk and mix well to get a smooth batter. There should be no lumps at all.

Add little water, mix well and bring it to pouring consistency ( should be like dosa batter).

Grease a plate with sesame oil and keep it ready.

Heat oil in a heavy bottom pan. Add mustard. When it starts spluttering add split urad dal, chana dal, more molagai and curry leaves. Sauté for few seconds.

Reduce the flame and add the rice flour mixture and keep stirring simultaneously.

Stir and cook till the mass becomes non sticky and start leaving the pan.


Transfer it the greased plate and spread it uniformly and smoothen the top. Allow it to set for sometime.


Cut into squares or any desired shape and serve 🙂
