Tuppdanna | Tuppada anna |
ತುಪ್ದನ್ನ | ಕಲೆಸಿದ ತುಪ್ಪದ ಅನ್ನ |
Tuppada anna is one of the quick fix for any day any time, both either to carry for lunch box or to eat at home. The word ‘tuppa’ translates to ghee and ‘anna’ translates to rice in Kannada.
A very simple rice preparation, where basic, simple tempering is prepared using ghee and mixed with rice, and lot of grated fresh coconut is added to the rice.
Both ghee and coconut gives awesome flavor to the rice. Sometimes it is prepared to carry for lunch box as well for children. We don’t need any accompaniment as such for this, as hot red chilies are added to the tempering, which gives the rice mild spiciness.
Generally this rice preparation is made in Mysore and Bengaluru brahmin house holds. Any age group people can eat this one pot meal. Normally when we cook simple saaru/rasam, this rice is also prepared to make the meals complete.
However I always prepare this tuppadanna by using home made ghee, which I personally make at home. You check the detailed process of making ghee at home from scratch
