We all have our share of comfort food, isn’t it? Some food that gives you a lot of memories, or even if there are no memories, the feel of having it is just out of the world. And the best part is – most of these food are just very normal food, nothing out of the world, made with minimal ingredients and in a jiffy.
Umma always makes this moru curry to pair with sambaar for rice. More than the sambaar, I prefer this moru curry. Once everybody is done, I would drink up the remaining, just like I do to her tamarind rasam. Most of my Saturdays, I resort to this curry as it just whips up in no time and tastes just too good with rice. My idea of nice cozy lunch has to be some rice with this moru curry, beans stir fry and nice fat piece of fried fish, preferably king-fish! Sheesh… I am feeling hungry now… ever since we have shifted, I have not even made a decent meal! Hmm… Off to this easy peasy recipe…
