We prepare this Kuchhida Kadubu or steamed rice Sihi and khara (sweet and spicy) kadubu (dumplings) particularly on Nagara Panchami day. Actually it is very popular in Karnataka as sihi kadubu, uddina kadubu (spicy) and kadale kadubu (spicy).

A very yummy & tasty dish which is steamed ie…. totally oil free/guilt free ! Sweet mixture ie… Pre-cooked fresh coconut & jaggery mixture is filled in steamed rice flaps and cooked again in steaming method. I guess almost everybody is this dish’s biggest fans !!

To make it easy for the beginners/learners I have mentioned all the ingredients in small quantity, so that it becomes easy for them to try it out.

NOTE : You can make rice flaps in this method also for making khara Kadale & uddina kadubu, just don’t cover the flaps fully, you need to leave the sides open, so that the lentil mixture gets cooked. I shall add the photo of the same very soon
