Mambazha Mor Kuzhambu Recipe with step by step images and detailed procedure
Last weekend when I was casually looking my WhatsApp, this mambazha mor kuzhambu recipe by my beloved friend Sridevi who is a wildlife photographer and a big-time elephant enthusiast. I always struggle with mor kulambu but I love it, especially this version from amma. The picture she had shared was so tempting and I asked her for the recipe. She detailed me the recipe in no time and it became our yummy lunch today. I made slight variations to the recipe 🙂

This can be offered to babies above six months without salt.
Adjust spices as per your taste.
Choose plump and fleshy mangoes.
They should not be sour.
