Hi padhu,
I was not too sure of preparing this dish. However, I tried it two days ago and liked it so much that I prepared it even for dinner. It tastes lovely and also is filling. Thank you Padhu.

Morkali is my favourite recipe. My grandmom used to make this. I'm going to try this like after almost 25+years. Thank you for posting this.

In Maharashtra we call this as Ambat Ukad. We use turmeric powder and crushed garlic as well. Its my favorite monsoon food.
Although traditionally it is made with rice flr, sometimes I mix Jawar and/ or Raagi flr as well. Try it.

All your recipes are very good Paddu. Tried making more Kali. It came out very well and tasted awesome. I made slight changes.. Cut them into squares ..that way it's much easier to eat.

Came out perfect! Morekali has always been a failure for me till date.
Thanks a tonā¤

Thanks Padhu. I'm planning to try this today. Is the stage suggested by you good for it to be cut into cakes after cooling?
Padhu Sankar
If you want to cut like a cake, cook for few more minutes and then leave it to cool. I prefer that semi solid mor kali.
Vidhya Satish
Yummy.. was reminded of my mother in law's kali. I always check with your recipes.. more of an authenticity check. Your instructions are clear, step-by-step and encouraging. Thanks.

Sudha Vasudevan

Hi Padhu, morkali tastes so good when done by this method. Thank you. But I had a doubt.
Should we double the recipe, if using 1 cup rice flour?
PadhuSankar
Yes

Favorite dish for both my Dad & Father in law

More than the way it’s cooked, the way it’s had when hot along with mor molaga, and the taste if the butter milk is nice and sour it’s ultimate
