Pundi || Undi || How to prepare Mangalorean Pundi recipe

Today's special recipe is Pundi or Undi or Pundi Gatti, rice dumpling from Udupi - Mangalore cuisines. It is prepared using rice rava most probably idli rava. We can have it with coconut chutney or with any Kara (spicy )chutney's. I had it with ripped red chilli chutney it tasted very yummy. We can have it as breakfast or as evening snack. It is very tasty and easy to prepare, we can prepare it with idli rava or by soaking and grinding rice, today I used idli rava.  

I checked recipe from here. I tasted it once in udupi, thinking to try it from many days. But now I got chance to prepare for #209ThindiYenu theme in #FoodieMondayBloghop fb group. This week theme is suggested by me 😍, I suggested to prepare any Karnataka breakfast recipe, waiting for all yummy recipes from my blogger friends. #FMBH fb group is such a lovely platform with very talented and wonderful chef's every member in group are very friendly, learning many things from them.

Tips

** Instead of idli rava you can also use rice. Wash rice, drain water and grind it to fine powder and use it. 

** Do not boil rava on high flames, as rava absorbs water quickly and do not cook well. 

** Boiling rava is the main step in this recipe. If rava touches your finger after boiling, then cook it some more time. 

** Do not let rava cool to roon temperature as rava will becomes hard. 

** Serve it hot to enjoy its taste.
