Generally we make this nuchhinunde/dumplings using only lentil. But today I tried this recipe by adding vegetables.

Then I realized its actually a great idea. This can be eaten with any kind of chutney or sauce. Here I have served this steamed dumplings/nuchhinunde along with sweet (tamarind & dates) chutney. (you can check the recipe in this link)

Below is the pic of nuchhinunde using only dal/lentil ie…. no vegetables used, if in case you want to make this you just need to make only one change ie add more fresh coconut ie… almost 1/2 cup of grated coconut can be added.

  • Pigeon peas/ Toor dal – 1cup
  • Green chilli – 2 – 4 nos.,
  • Red chilies – 6 – 8 nos.,
  • Asafoetida(Hing) – 1/4 tsp
  • Grated fresh coconut – 1/2 cup
  • Coriander leaves – 1/4 cup
  • Curry leaves (chopped) – 2 tbsp
  • Salt to taste

Vegetables :

  • French beans – 2 tbsp
  • Carrot – 2 tbsp
  • Fresh green peas – 2 tbsp
  • Corn kernels – 1/2 cup
  • Broccoli – 2 tbsp
  • Wash  and soak the lentil for 2 -3 hours
  • Grind the lentil coarsely adding chilies, coriander leaves, salt and hing
  • Chop all the vegetables and steam it for 5 minutes by adding required salt and let it cool
  • Add coconut and curry leaves to the lentil mixture
  • Add cooked and cooled vegetables to the lentil mixture and combine well
  • Make oval shaped dumplings and steam it for 10 – 12 minutes
  • Serve hot with hot & sweet chutney or any kind of chutney of your choice
