Uddina bele mosaru bajji | Split black gram raita |
ಉದ್ದಿನ ಬೇಳೆ ಮೊಸರು ಬಜ್ಜಿ | ಉದ್ದಿನ ಹಿಟ್ಟಿನ ರಾಯ್ತ |
Uddina hittu is one of the main side dishes of South India…that too South Karnataka. Its a very old practice of preparing raita with soaked and ground split black gram lentil. This raita is compulsorily made during chaturmaasa or chaturmaasa vratha.
Whenever we make Dosa or Idly, we soak little more quantity of Urad dal than required and make this raita.
This is served at the beginning of the Lunch, which is to be eaten mixed with rice in a very small quantity….. ie one or two tbsp, not more than that and also not on regular basis.
