Instructions

1
Prepare the buttermilk base
- In a large bowl, whisk the curd until smooth and free of lumps.
- Gradually add 2.5 cups of water while whisking continuously to form a thin, uniform buttermilk.

2
Make the tempering (tadka)
- Heat oil in a small pan over medium heat.

Pour the hot tempering directly into the prepared buttermilk mixture.

Stir well to combine all the flavors.

Let it rest for at least 10 minutes for the flavors to meld. Serve at room temperature or chilled with steamed rice.

Pro Tips

1Use slightly sour yogurt for the most authentic tangy flavor.
2Never heat or boil the buttermilk after adding the tempering, as it will curdle.
3For a crunchier texture, you can add finely chopped cucumber or raw mango along with the onions.
4Let the Majjiga Charu rest for at least 15-20 minutes before serving to allow the flavors to infuse properly.
5This dish tastes even better when chilled for about 30 minutes before serving, especially on a hot day.

Skip the green chilies and use only a small piece of the dried red chili in the tempering for a very mild flavor.
