Kalyana Mor kuzhambu | Bonda morkuzhambu

Kalyana mor kuzhambu | wedding style mor kuzhambu, also called as bonda morkuzhambu , is a popular recipe served in Tamil brahmin weddings. I have posted my mom’s version of mor kuzhambu long back and mambazha mor kuzhambu recently. Though I have heard from many relatives in the family adding coriander seeds to morkuzhambu, never tried that in my version. During my Trichy trip 2 months back, my perimma was explaining to me this Iyengar bonda morkuzhambu ( she told me this name) recipe to me. The way she explained made me to try this at home soon, but some how it got delayed. Finally i tired this last week and we all loved it very much. It tasted the same morkuzhambu which are served in weddings.

Will post that version latter. Check out my

  • Serve with hot rice. 
  • A simple fried papad or vadam will be a best accompaniment for this morkuzhambu. 
Notes:
  1. Bonda batter should not be too thick ,else it will be very hard while eating.
  2. Ensure that the morkuzhambu is not very thick, as it gets more thickened after few minutes of adding the bondas.
  3. Add the bondas when the mor kuzhambu is hot.  This way the flavour will get infused more into the bondas.
  4. If it is not hot, ensure to put hot bondas to mor kuzhambu.
  5. You can skip the bondas and make plain morkuzhambu too.
