Ash Gourd Majjige Huli – How to make Udupi Style Majjige Huli – Pavithra from Dice n Cook

Ash gourd majjige huli or curd based sambar is a traditional dish from Udupi, South India. This delicious sambar or huli is prepared in different regions of south India with slight variation in ingredients. I love majjige huli with lots of fresh coconut, coconut oil and asafoetida.

This recipe is followed in my family from ages, my grandmother, mother and mother-in-law have been following this full proof recipe. So thought of updating my blog with this traditional recipe.

Any vegetable can be used for this recipe. Ash gourd is high in nutrition with 95% water content and highly fibrous. So here is udupi style majjige huli recipe. It is a curd or buttermilk based curry made by mixing spiced coconut paste with cooked ash gourd. This is usually served with hot rice. There is one more yogurt based curry on blog click here for recipe Mambazha Pulissery or Mango Majjige Huli
