When you say, mix on the 4th step, do you mean to cook it ?

Is this an Andhra speciality?

MT looks tasty and it seems easy to prepare, one question there no buttermilk in the recipe, where does it get its name from?

The first time I ever had morekali was in my Iyengar friend's house - her grandmother had made it and it was SOOOOOOO tasty! I wish I could get real sour buttermilk here (never seems to get sour)... I'd love to try your recipe!
