UNDI

Undi is a popular breakfast in Karnataka, mainly in South Canara. My mother used to prepare Undi at least once a week when I was young. I liked Undi with lots of spicy gravy of the pickle. In many houses they eat it with jaggery syrup ie, 'GODDA RAVO'. Here at my Husband's place I never heard the name Undi so I slowly forgot this. I must not forget that once on my request my Mother-in-law had prepared Undi. Now I suddenly remembered this. And after 24 years of my marriage, I am making this for the first time and it came out very well. My children and also my hubby ate for the first time and they liked it. :)
