Mosaru bajji or Hashi is a main course dish made of a mixture of curd and vegetable, either raw or cooked.
The Hashi or Raita of Karnataka is one of the main dishes served in a meal. It is different from the raita of North India as it is not an accompaniment to a dish like pulao or fried rice but a main dish which is mixed with steamed rice and eaten after eating sambar and rice in a typical daily meal.
A typical household meal of North Kanara district in karnataka consists of Anna(steamed rice), Huli (sambar), Palle (cooked vegetables), Gojju(chutney), Hashi and Tambuli ( a thin cold soup of curd with spices).
On special occasions like festivals and marriages the meal becomes more elaborate with kosambri (salads) , chitranna( spiced rice),happala, sandige sweets and payasa.( sweet porridge)
I would like to mention here that the women of this region are very innovative and can cook up a Gojju, Hashi or Tumbuli from any vegetable , vegetable peel or leaves of plants which are grown in their Tota (farm ) and keep you guessing what its made of. :)
Here I have used Green pumpkin for making the raita.
INGREDIENTS
1 cup chopped pumpkin
2tsp fresh grated coconut
1/4 tsp mustard seeds
1/2 green chilli
a pinch of hing/asafoetida
1 cup fresh curd/yogurt
METHOD
