Majjige huli | Palaldya | South Indian Yoghurt Curry
Written by Jayashree

Majjige huli is a popular accompaniment used with steamed rice. It is made of whisked curds with seasoning and other spices. It makes a good meal for summer. This is a signature dish of Karnataka. It is known by different names in various states. Paladya, mor kozhambu, majjige huli and kadhi are the different versions prepared in different parts of the country. Kadhi is popular in Maharashtra  while Mor Kozhambu is  familiar to South Indians.

There is a slight variation in the preparation of each one of these, but the primary ingredient remains the same, it  is sour curd.

I have made using ash gourd. Take ash gourd which is fresh and firm . Remove the skin slowly,  you need to have practice as it hard. Other vegetables you can use are cucumber, lady finger and potato. Cucumber is cut into rings and cooked in the seasoning. The okra needs to be sauted and then put after the curds is put. If using potato, boil, peel and cut them into chunks. Put them in the curd mixture and boil.
