Kunukku

Kunukku is traditionally prepared by soaking dhals and rice and grinding with chillies and salt and the batter is deep fried like bonda. But for a quick version, we can make it with left over idli / dosa batter also.Here is the recipe:

Ingredients needed :

• Idli batter - 2 cups
• Maida - 1 tbsp.
• Rawa - 1 tbsp.
• Onion - 1
• Green chillies - 1
• Curry leaves - One string
• Hing powder - 1/4 tsp.
• Oil - for deep frying

Method :

Chop onion and green chillies finely. Add maida or rawa to the idli batter and mix well. If necessary add little water to make the batter flow easily from a spoon when poured. Add a pinch of salt + hing powder + chopped onion + green chillies and curry leaves to the batter. Heat oil in a kadai and take a small spoon of batter and pour it in the hot oil. Fry till it turns light brown. Serve with chutney.
