Masala Majjiga Pulusu | Mor Kuzhambu | Kadhi

Majjiga pulusu,a south indian style kadhi is made of buttermilk / curd along with different spices that add a rich flavor to the recipe. I'm sharing a different variation of majjiga pulusu in which you add a little bit off masala to give a kick to the comforting dish. 

Serves 2 people

Ingredients

1 Cup thick yogurt

3/4 Cup water

1 Cup onion chopped 

1 Cup tomato thinly sliced

2 Tsp ginger garlic 

1 Tbs oil

Salt

Masala (Grind it) 

1 Tbs poppy seeds

1 Tbs coriander seeds 

1 Tbs fennel seeds 

1/2 Tsp turmeric

5 Red chili's ( adjust acc. to your spice level)

Seasoning  

1 Tbs oil

1 Tsp mustards 

1 Tsp jeera

2 Red chili's cut equally

Few curry leaves

1/2 Tsp Hing 

- Grind all the masala ingredients to smooth paste by adding little by little water. 

- Heat pan with oil. To that add onion & fry them till they are transparent.

- Add ginger garlic paste to pan & stir fry it for 1min.

- Now add tomatoes to the pan & stir fry for 1min.Then add masala paste & salt to the pan.

- Close it with a lid. Allow the ingredients to steam cook for 5mins or till tomatoes are cooked well. 

- Mix yogurt & water well. It looks like a thick butter milk.

- Add the butter milk to pan & allow it to cook in low heat for 3mins & not more than that.Switch off heat & majjiga pulusu is almost done. 

- Heat another pan with oil. To that add mustard, jeera, red chili's & curry leaves. When the mustard starts jumping add hing & switch off heat. 

- Mix the seasoning with pulusu & adjust salt if needed.

Note:

- Don't allow the curd to boil or it will be curdled.

- Instead of thick yogurt & water, you can use 2 cups of butter milk. 

- Spice level of red chili's vary with the variety you use. So adjust accordingly.
