Steamed fresh green Peas/Hasi batani kuchhida khara Kadubu |
ಹಸಿ ಬಟಾಣಿಯ ಕುಚ್ಚಿದ ಖಾರ ಕಡುಬು |
These steamed savory Kadubu are definitely a healthy alternate for the sweet filled deep fried Kadubu/Gujiya which are often made for festivals and functions.
This time instead of making deep fried kadubu/gujiya for Holi Hunnime, I tried this new version of salt & spicy steamed savory rice flour Kadubu/Gujiya and also made a twist in the filling as well.
For the first time, made this Fresh green peas filling with the ingredients which were at home, used lot of coriander leaves and it also contains almond, fresh coconut hence overall this is a nutritious food.
The outcome was so awesome that, now on…. I have decided to prepare the spicy version in this form only. No need for any accompaniments like….. chutney or sauce etc, it tastes superb if eaten as such as well
