Buttermilk or ‘moar‘kolambu rice . Excuse me
for the spelling … if written as ‘more‘I thought I
will not be able to title as a dish ,then I thought
‘Morr‘it sounded like a cat . So,even though I
think I delivered it right,it may not seem right
to some, so do overlook the error ( does it
matter?)😂.Busy moms will like this dish with
pickle and papadams . Lunch box category.
This is a dish made with buttermilk , spiced
and mixed into the rice.
Northern India make it different from
Southerners ( I will be giving both versions)
Now.. to the simple and quick dish !
