Summers are in full swing in this part of the world. It is so hot and we just don’t feel like spending a lot of time cooking . Here is an quick and easy side dish with mixed vegetables. It is one of my most favorite dish. A delicious curry from Andhra and Telangana is perfect for the summers. Mix Vegetable Majjiga Pulusu is slightly different from the Majjige Huli that is popular in Karnataka. I love this version from Andhra and Telangana too. You just need 20 mins to whip it off.
Memories of Mix Vegetable Majjiga Pulusu:
While growing up in Vizag , I tasted this dish for the first time . My neighbour has prepared this when we were invited for lunch at their Place. Since then I have been eating it regularly at home. You may use any vegetable of your choice. I have used onions , green bell pepper and Lady finger here. You can use ash gourd, unripe papaya , drum stick, bottle gourd or egg plant. It is so addictive and flavorful . In case you have never eaten this then it is a must try.A must try recipe. Mostly people use sour curd to make this pulusu. It is a personal choice though. I like the slightly sour version.

Have heard so much about majjiga pulusu but never got to try as I was skeptical to come out of the majjige huli and mor kuzhambu barrier … your click is so appealing I am tempted to try your recipe of majjiga pulusu
This majjiga pulusu with assorted vegetables looks and sounds so delicious! I’m definitely tempted to try it out soon.
We make Morekozhambu with only one veggie at a time, so adding a variety is new to me.
A new recipe for me. Sounds interesting. Beautiful click. Your pictures made me hungry.
