pundi recipe | rice dumplings recipe | mangalorean pundi recipe with step by step photo and video recipe. udupi or mangalore cuisine is known for its healthy steamed breakfast recipes. most of these recipes are made using rice as its base and thus supplying the required carbohydrates. one such rice-based recipe is pundi recipe or rice dumplings made with idli rava and steamed in an idli stand.
i have posted quite a few udupi or mangalorean recipes till now, but some of them are nostalgic for me. pundi recipe is one such recipe to me. during those days, pundi was made by grinding the soaked rice coarsely and then shaping it to steam. it uses to be a time-consuming recipe, but these days this recipe is made with idli rava to cut short the soaking and grounding procedure. i prefer the former way of making this recipe from scratch, but in this recipe post, i have shown the short cut way. my guess is most of my readers would prefer something quick and healthy breakfast recipe for early morning and hence used idli rava. perhaps i would post another recipe video starting from scratch.
furthermore, some easy tips, suggestions and variations for a tasty mangalorean pundi recipe. firstly, if you prefer to make these dumplings using rice, you need to soak it and ground it to a coarse paste. in addition, once the rice is grounded you have to cook it over low flame stirring it continuously till it starts leaving the pan. the entire step is skipped with the idli rava. secondly, you can also make these using bombay rava or upma rava (rava pundi) if you have concern over rice rava. lastly, serve these dumplings with choice of chutney or any coconut based curry. for meat eaters, you can serve with kori gasi or any spicy coconut based meat curry.
finally, i request you to check my other related idli recipes collection with this post of pundi recipe. it includes recipes like, rava idli, masala pundi, oats idli, thatte idli, bread idli, sabudana idli, idli with idli rava and idli podi recipe. further to these, do visit to my other related recipes collection like,
