No chilly,no coconut Spinach Mor Kuzhambu with white pepper

0 · ·

As a part of the postpartum recipes, the second recipe that I am going to share is spinach butter milk sambhar. In this dish we use white pepper, instead of black pepper.  White pepper is really mild when compared to black pepper. Again instead of coconut, we use daliya here. I love this kuzhambu very much and every other day my MIL used to make this and even now I make it for a change.

Here are the ingredients:

    • Usually we use only moong dhal for atleast 2 months n then slowly start adding other dhals. But for tadka it’s ok. Hope this helps. Thanks

  1. […] I used white pepper for this soup.  So what’s the difference between white and black pepper? Err both are the fruits of pepper plant. The way they are processed, differentiates them both. Black pepper corns are picked when they are almost ripe and are sun-dried completely until they turn black, whereas for the white pepper, the outer layer is removed and then sun-dried.  To be honest, taste wise I couldn’t feel big difference. What I felt was white pepper has comparatively less heat than black ones. And that may be reason why we use them for postpartum recipes. You can find mor Kuzhambu, butter milk sambar with white peppercorns in my archives. […]
