Mamidikaya Majjiga Pulusu | Mangai Mor Kuzhambu: A Raw Mango and Buttermilk Stew from Andhra Pradesh

Buttermilk stews are popular across India. Called Kadhi, Majjiga Pulusu, Mor Kuzhambu, Majjige Huli, and a whole host of other names. Call it by any name, but this dish is among my favourites and I make many variations of it like this one where the tangy raw mango plays a starring role.

Very few people expect this tangy Mamidikaya Majjiga Pulusu and will be quite surprised when you serve it. It is also very easy to make and that can be a blessing on hot summer days.

How to Make Mamidikaya Majjiga Pulusu | Mangai Mor Kuzhambu | Mavinakayi Majjige Huli

Cooking the Mango

1. Peel and cut the mango to small pieces. Ensure that the mango is sour; otherwise, the majjiga pulusu will be bland.
2. Add the mango pieces to a large vessel and add 1/2 cup water. If you are going to pressure cook the mangoes, then use a large vessel and the mango pulp tends to spill out in a small vessel.
3. Over medium flame, pressure cook the mangoes or then cook them over open flame till the mango pieces are completely mashable.
4. Let the mango pieces cool a bit and then using a heavy ladle or a churner, mash the mango pieces till they are pulp.
