Menthi Majjiga (Buttermilk with Fenugreek)

Another classic Andhra preparation. This dish goes perfectly with Aaku Pappu. I even like it as an accompaniment to khichdi. This tastes best with homemade buttermilk, but you can use commercial buttermilk too.

Step: 1

Stir the buttermilk, turmeric, and salt together in a bowl. Add the curry leaves and green chiles, but do not stir into the mixture.

Step: 2

Heat the vegetable oil in a small skillet; add the chile peppers, fenugreek seeds, mustard seeds, cumin seeds, and asafoetida powder to the oil. Fry the mixture until the seeds splutter. Pour the mixture over the curry leaves and green chiles. This will quickly fry them and release a nice aroma. Serve cold or at room temperature.

One of most obvious way to choose a side dish is to look at your main dish (pasta, chicken, seared tofu) and choose something different. When you’re cooking pasta, make sure for a simple healthy dish . Making steak? Go for something light. If you’re making stir-fry with rice, it must not a good idea to adjust with make a rice salad.

This also can make to cooking method . You don’t want to push more often your oven by making to do list three dishes at once in there, or be rounding four pans on the stovetop . But sometimes you can make a dish do double-duty .
