Majjiga Pulusu Recipe | Andhra Buttermilk Charu
Majjiga Pulusu, also known as Majjiga Charu, is a classic South Indian dish made with sour yogurt and seasonings. This simple Majjiga Charu recipe requires no vegetables except onions.
Ingredients
- 2 cups Yogurt
- 1 cup Water
- Salt as needed
- 3 Green Chillies
- ½ inch Ginger
- 4 cloves Garlic
- 1 tablespoon Oil
- 1 teaspoon Mustard Seeds
- 1 teaspoon Urad Dal
- ½ teaspoon Cumin Seeds
- ¼ teaspoon Fenugreek Seeds
- 2 Red Chillies
- 1 medium Onion
- ½ teaspoon Turmeric Powder
- few Coriander Leaves
Instructions
- Add the plain yogurt to a mixing bowl and whisk well. Add the water and salt to the whisked curd. Whisk again until smooth and well combined.
- Add green chillies, ginger, and garlic to a small mixer jar. Grind them together to form a coarse paste. Alternatively, you can crush them together using a mortar and pestle.
- Heat oil in a pan. Once hot, add mustard seeds. Once the mustard seeds splutter, add cumin seeds, urad dal, fenugreek seeds, red chilli, and curry leaves.
- Saute for a minute, then add the finely chopped onion, and coarsely ground green chilli paste. Saute until the colour of the onion slightly changes. Add the turmeric powder and mix it well.
- Add the prepared yogurt mixture little by little. Make sure you cook on a low flame. Mix it well. Adjust the salt if needed. Be careful not to boil the buttermilk to prevent curdling.
- Allow the majjiga pulusu to simmer for a few minutes, stirring occasionally.
- Garnish with fresh coriander leaves. Serve the hot majjiga charu with steamed rice and a delicious side dish.
