Akki kadubu and simple saru recipe explained with step by step pictures and a video. This is a very tasty and a pocket friendly recipe. You just need to have very minimum ingredients for this recipe. The akki kadubu is prepared using rice, water and salt. No other ingredients are used. You can serve it with either chutney or sambar or rasam.
This recipe is an improved easy version of unde kadubu or pundi gatti, which I have posted long ago. I have also added one simple side dish along with the recipe.
This akki kadubu is a very healthy recipe and will not cause any digestion related issues. I have used sona masoori rice in this recipe and I have used 2.5 times water. You can use any rice of your choice but you may have to adjust the water quantity.
I have many steamed recipes on this website like kayi kadubu, kara kadubu, eeradye, pathrode, nuchinunde, idli, cucumber idli and pumpkin sweet idli recipes. Steamed recipes are very healthy.
Apart from these you can find many sweet recipes, snacks recipes, breakfast recipes, Malnad recieps and Udupi-Mangalore recieps on this website. Do Read, Try and Enjoy!!

Ingredients: (measuring cup used = 240ml)
- 1 cup rice (I have used sona masoori)

Ingredients: (measuring cup used = 240ml)
- 2 medium sized tomatoes

Instructions for making akki kadubu and simple saaru:
- Take rice and rinse it well.
- Drain the water completely and spread it on a cloth or plate.
- Wait until dry. I 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.
- Next boil the water in a wide pan along with salt.
- When it starts boiling add in rice rava gradually by stirring continuously using a flat spatula. Stirring continuously is very important to avoid lumps.
- Keep stirring continuously for a minute or until thin paste. Switch off the stove.
- Grease the plates. I have used thatte idli plates. You can use any other plate or idli plate also.
- Pour the batter into the greased plate and level it.
- Steam cook it for 15 minutes under medium flame. The time may vary depending on the quantity.
- Chop and grind the tomatoes along with coconut by adding required water.
- Transfer it to a container. Add in salt and keep it for boiling.
- Add in turmeric powder. Continue boiling.
- Add in jaggery. Continue boiling.
- Add in tamarind. Continue boiling.
- Add in slit green chili and coriander leaves. Continue boiling.
- Add in required water and continue boiling.
- Add in rasam powder. Bring it to rolling boil and switch off the stove.
- Prepare tempering using oil, mustard, cumin seeds, red chilli, asafoetida and curry leaves. Add this tempering to the rasam or saaru.
- Serve soft and healthy akki kadubu with simple rasam or saaru.
