majjiga pulusu recipe | andhra majjiga charu | buttermilk rasam with detailed photo and video recipe. a simple and easy rasam recipe made with sour buttermilk and vegetable seasonings. it is an ideal rasam side dish recipe which can be made within minutes, in no time with the basic ingredients available in the kitchen. the recipe hails from the southern state of andhra cuisine and can be easily served for lunch and dinner with steamed rice.
i am not a huge fan of rasam recipes and i am more of sambar or dal recipes. the main reason being the consistency of the rasam. for instance, the pepper garlic rasam has the watery consistency and i feel it does not mix with rice. whereas if you compare it with any lentil-based sambar or coconut-based sambar which has a medium consistency, gels well with rice. having said that, it is a different scenario with the majjiga pulusu recipe. you use buttermilk which generally has a better thickness and also when mixed with veggies, its consistency improves. moreover, it hardly takes a couple of minutes to make it as it does not need to pressure cook or boil. hence whenever you feel lethargic to make something fancy, you can opt for this recipe.
furthermore, some more tips, suggestions and variations for a perfect and tasty majjiga pulusu recipe. firstly, as i mentioned the buttermilk rasam tastes good when it is sour in taste. basically it would end up with a spicy and sour rasam recipe. secondly, if your yoghurt is not sour, you should be good adding a teaspoon of lemon juice to balance the taste. also, to make the buttermilk sour you can keep it a warm place or even under the sun. lastly, you can easily make and keep it in a fridge for 2-3 days. in addition, you can also add more finely chopped veggies to make it more tasty and flavourful.
