Majjige saaru with sorekaayi/ Bottle gourd curd based curry

Majjige huLi, I know, majjige saaru, no. The only difference I see in the recipe is Majjige huLi generally doesn’t have onion or garlic, Majjige Saaru does. I found this recipe online and I wanted to try out this new method. Taste was really good. Tasted more like a curried version of majjige huLi. If you like majjige huLi and don’t mind onion-garlic flavor, you will definitely enjoy this. 

Do try!
