Mambazha mor kuzhambu – Palakkad special

Mambazha pulissery | mambazha moru kootan is a Palakad special dish, made with ripe mangoes. Though I have heard about this recipe through my friend’s mother-in-law but never was a bit skeptical to try this at home, as I am not sure about the taste. But after hearing very good reviews about this morkootan, finally, I tried this mambazha morkootan. It tasted very nice and went well with plain rice and spicy potato masala.
