I was thinking of coming up with a name for Majjiga Pulusu( More Kozhambu in tamil) for people here in US. Any suggestions are welcome.

This recipe is one of the many types of pulusu that are done with Majjiga aka Butter Milk. Its Khatta, Spicy, yummy and has that citric flavor to it, which make this recipe unique..
