Unique's Kitchen



Melara (Majjige Huli)
-----------------------------
Melara is popularly known as Majjige huli. Usually it is made up of butter milk.Hence the name.When I prepared at home it tasted so nice….so thought of sharing…..
Usually we use many vegetables….but here I tried using Tomatillos (husk tomato) and Green bell pepper.

Ingredients
--------------
Tomatillos-1 medium size
Green bell pepper (capsicum) - 1medium size
Green chillis- 4-5
Grated coconut – 1cup
Fenugreek seeds (methi seeds) -1/4 tbs
Yogurt- 2tbs

For seasoning
-----------------
Oil (I prefer coconut oil because it gives flavour as well as smell) -2tbs
Mustard seeds – 1tbs
Curry leaves – 1 string

Method
----------
1. Cut the tomatillos and bell pepper into big cubes.
2. Grind the coconut, green chillis, fenugreek seeds
3. Boil vegetables and then add this grinded paste.
4. After it boils add Yogurt (Instead of butter milk because tomatillos will be sour in taste so yogurt is suffient)
5. Boil for 2 min and season it.
Serve with rice……really its aroma spreads whole room….tastes too yummy…..
