Majjige Menasu is a beloved South Indian condiment, especially popular in Karnataka. These are green chillies that have been slit, marinated in seasoned buttermilk, and sun-dried until they become shelf-stable. When deep-fried in oil, they turn crispy, dark brown, and salty, offering a tangy and mildly spicy crunch that perfectly complements mild dishes like curd rice or ganji.
