This is an instant recipe when you don’t have time and  have  nothing else except sour buttermilk. Here is the recipe. My  grand mother  used to fefer  it as  “Mulgayai  killi  Mora vidal”  . This is prepared   very rarely   , as it is considered   as a  very simple  , tasteless  main dish

1.Palakkad   iyer homes

1.Heat Oil , splutter mustard , red chillies, uzhuttam parippu and fenugreek(if needed  you can add split  green chillies also)

2.Pour buttermilk and add salt and turmeric powder

3.Remove from the stow  as soon as butter milk  becomes hot .

.

It has a taste  of its own  and people who need pungenzy   squeeze   the seasoned  red chillies/split  red chillies  in the butter milk.
