Majjghe hulli is made with curds as the main ingredient hence the name. “majjghe” in Kannada language means curds and “hulli” means sambar in this context.. One of the comforting dishes that is made in every kannadigas home. This is also made at weddings. It’s a very simple but highly popular dish. Majjghe hulli is made using white pumpkin typically.
There are a few twists also that can be added to it instead of adding veggies, will post them soon..😊.. Stay tuned ..
