MORE KUZHAMBU/ SPICED BUTTERMILK CURRY

         More kuzhambu is a South Indian gravy variety famous in Kerala and parts of Tamil Nadu. It can be compared to the Punjabi kadhi of the Northern subcontinent. The dish was traditionally made when butter were made at home by churning curd for hours. The remnant buttermilk was spiced up to make more-kuzhambu.

                     Ganesh chaturthi is celebrated on the fourth day after new moon in the month of aavani (a tamil month - mid August to mid September). It is falling on 29th of August this time. It is celebrated throughout India and is a very important Hindu festival. Lord Ganesh statues made of clay are bought to house, decorated and worshiped for days and are floated in water bodies after a few days, usually 5th day or 7th day.
