She prepared a delicious recipe out of that, Majjige huli which was very simple but tasty. I came to know the benefits of the peel only then to read on the internet. 

This became another add on curry along with the main one for rice. So that we could eat a bit more of rice, variety of curry in our menu for the day. 

As I already mentioned in my earlier blogs, our great grand parents and moms were so creative and to make variety of recipes to insist the family members to eat more and also not to drop the benefits of them, they always looked forward to prepare a quick recipe from the ingredients they used on that day. 

Like the dal or pappu oggarane when they made sambar, and dal sweet simple one which is liked by kids and healthier too. I mentioned this in my blog for Sambar recipe. 

Majjige huli has its own benefits along with easy at cooking. Not much of time consuming recipe is this Majjige huli, need to stir fry the peel and add to the grinding ingredients like coconut, jeera, chilli then add curd and season with mustard seeds.. a very easy to cook which is tasty and mild on stomach.

Majjige saaru or thambuli tastes good with hot rice and a papad.

Do try this easy recipe along with any other curry for the day or with the stir fry of ridge gourd itself and treat your family members.

I made drumstick sambar, ridge gourd palya or stir fry and ridge gourd peel majjige huli for this day and enjoyed our meal with papad.
