Pundi – Mangalorean Snack Recipe

Pundi is a soft rice dumpling that is steamed and served with sambar and/or coconut chutney. It is a very popular recipe from Udupi and Mangalore towns of Karnataka state.

Pundi is very easy to make. It is also a super healthy recipe with just a teaspoon oil, idli rava, water, and tempering.

When I initially thought of making this, two questions came in my mind – Will this taste like Upma Dumplings? Or Will it taste like Idli with tempering? No! it does not taste like any from this. Pundi tastes very different from Idli & Upma.

This was because when I saw the recipe on a random Instagram Post, the ingredients did sound like I was making Upma and then Steaming it again. (Just North Indian Things 😛😂 )
