Preparation time: 8 hours + 10 min
Cooking time: 30 min
Serves: 3
Ingredients: (measuring cup used = 240ml)
- 1.5 cup good quality dosa rice
- 1/2 cucumber
- 2.5 cup water
- 1/2 cup grated coconut
- Salt as per your taste
Instructions for making southe pundi or unde kadubu:
- Rinse the rice, drain the water and wait until completely dry. I generally leave it overnight.
- Once it is dry, coarse grind it using a mixer grinder. Just run the mixie for few seconds. The consistency should be like rice rava or idli rava. Keep it aside.
- Grate the cucumber and coconut and keep it ready.
- Next boil the water in a wide pan along with salt.
- When the water starts boiling add in grated coconut and cucumber. Next add in rice rava gradually by stirring continuously using a flat spatula. Stirring continuously is very important to avoid lumps. Keep stirring continuously for few minutes under medium flame.
- In no time it will become thick. If the spatula can stand straight (without falling) in the dough, it is done. Switch off the stove. The dough will be very soft at this stage.
- Wait until warm. Wet your fingers with water, take a small portion of dough and make small orange sized ball. Then make a dent using your thumb. Steam cook it for 15 minutes under medium flame. The time may vary depending on the quantity. Also you can make it in any shape like flat, oval or round.
- Once cooked, take out the pundi or unde kadubu and serve it with chutney or saaru.
