Moru Curry/ Buttermilk Curry

This must be the easiest curry in the world. Nevertheless tastes awesome.Every home must have its own version of moru curry. I had this version at one of my relatives, Jenny’s place in Bangalore. She had served it for dinner for a bunch of guests along with meat fry. A couple of  Sundays ago, I tried this with the Chicken 65. If you’ve got better easier versions let me know, I would love to try.

Notes :

The buttermilk should not be thin. If the yoghurt you’re using is very thick like greek yoghurt (thats what I have used) the water should be just right.
