It tastes awesome with Chutney / Pickle / Gun powder etc.

MAHARASHTRIAN STYLE UPIT l SUJI UPMA l SEMOLINA UPMA l RAVA UPMA

Upit means Upma.  We call it upma and Maharashtrians call it as Upit.  This Upit is slightly different from the Upma which we make because this version I tasted when I went to Kolhapur for a wedding.  Kolhapur means the dishes are very spicy and we eat very less spice.  The hot hot Upit they served garnished with Nylon sev and coriander on top with a dash of lime juice was very tasty but was too spicy for us and we had to opt for lot of sugar in it.  But I still enjoyed.  The only difference I noticed is that we add asafoetida in Upma but in Upit it is not.

Today, I prepared the Raw Jackfruit Puzhukku so I thought of making Kanji with it.  In this video, how to make the Jackfruit Puzhukku and the Kanji is explained.

This idea came to my mind because I used to eat it with any kind of pickle.  Since I had freshly made mango pickle, I thought I will add this to upma and make it.

PEPPER CUMIN IDLI

Pepper Cumin Idli is easy to make if you have idli batter at home for a change.  You can either serve it along with sambhar and chutney or rasam. I preferred to have it with rasam of course, it is the choice of individuals.

It is not similar to kanjeevaram idli since  more ingredients are added in kanjeevaram idli than the pepper cumin idli.

Preparation for the same is like the normal idli batter.  Just before preparing the idli, add the crushed cumin, pepper, hing powder,ginger powder and curry leaves  and then make the idlis.

BONDA SOUP, URID BONDA IN LENTIL SOUP

Dear Friends,

I am happy to announce that this post is my 1000th post.  It is a great achievement for me as far as I am concerned.  I could not have been successful without your support, encouragement.

I sincerely thank each one of you and my family members on this occasion and the God who has created varieties of  vegetables, fruits and other items for making lovely dishes for human consumption and for sharing and caring.

Let me turn to the recipe now:

This recipe is of Karnataka State.  In Tamil Nadu and Kerala, we make Rasam Vada. The Bonda soup is somewhat similar to that but the soup is made out of three dals  viz. tur, moong and masoor.    This is quite healthy and delicious too. 

 The variation in the soup is in rasam we add tamarind  but in the soup, it is avoided.

The bonda or vada in the hot soup is really awesome.  You can make the Bonda Soup with the left over vada also.

Let us look at the recipe now:

UNDE KADUBU, PUNDI GATTI

My exploration of  Karnataka recipes is on.  Today I prepared the Unde Kadubu or known as Pundi Gatti. Normally, Tamilians and Malayalees  also prepare this rice dumplings either by grinding the rice (boiled rice)  or with the rice rava or idli rava.  The traditional pundi gatti is prepared by soaking and grinding the boiled rice.   However, this preparation   is a typical  Malnad style breakfast recipe and popular by name unde or unde kadubu or undlige. This is a plain version of unde kadubu prepared using rice and coconut.   We can also prepare Sweet and spicy version  according to your requirement which is known as Vella Kozhukkattai and Ulundu Kozhukkattai in Tamil version.  

This  is an easy, healthy and tasty breakfast  as the same is steamed and steamed foods are good for health.  It can be served with hot sambar or rasam or any kind of chutney.  I served it with an instant  rasam which is very  quick  and easy to prepare.  The recipe is given below.

Now let us look at the recipe of  Unde Kadubu:  

AVAL ADAI, POHA ADAI, BEATENRICE ADAI

Poha or beaten rice adai is  very easy to make.  If you have time, then you can soak  the dal for an hour or you can soak it in hot water for 30 minutes. then soaking poha is easy as it does not take much time. 

You can make this adai bit spicy and should be served hot with chutney or sambhar.  It is an alternate method of the normal rice adai which we make at home.

An easy and tasty breakfast. You can also add veggies like grated carrot, beetroot etc. in it for making it more healthy.
