Majjige Huli (Vegetables Simmered In Curd)

  • Duration: 20 minutes
  • Serves: 2 to 4 people
  • Spice Level: Low

Authenticity Slice

Don’t add fried pakoras but one can add boiled vegetables . The best way of enjoying Majjige Huli is with steamed rice and aralu sandige. Majjige Huli is a vegetable and dal dish cooked in a buttermilk base, so in that sense is similar to the kadhi of Maharashtra and Gujarat. If you do not wish to use a grinder/blender, add in some chopped chillies along with the vegetables and just put them on boil.

Trivia Tadka

Majjige Huli is a South Indian dish prepared using milk curd. It is one of the authentic Kannadiga dishes and a sure find at any of the state’s festive feasts, especially during Sankranti. Majjige Huli uses a select variety of vegetables and is usually savoured with rice. Only a single vegetable is used in this unique dish. This dish is different from Udupi.
