Mor Kuzhumbu (South Indian Kadi)

I made this today since Arpi was at the dance class. Since it was really popular, I am going to record exactly what I did :
  • Soak the rice first :)
  • Prep and microwave the white bhopla / white pumpkin
  • Soak chana dal, toor dal, jeera (1 tbsp + 1tbsp + 1tsp)
  •  Add 1/4 cup coconut and 1/2 inch ginger
  • Blend it all together into a chutney.
  • Fry red chili + jeera + (6-7) curry leaves
  • Add the fried stuff to the chutney and blend that in as well.
  • Pour out some curd into the pot and thin it a little bit with some water.
  • Add the chutney.
  • Add salt and haldi.
  • Add the pumpkin
  • Heat it through (don't boil or anything).
My recipe was a combination of steps from these 2 posts : http://priyaskitchen.wordpress.com/2007/09/11/mor-kuzhambu/

For reference, I think this dish is called Challa Pulusu in Telugu.
