Akki tari kadubu/ masala rice dumplings

They don't require oil and takes minimal time to get cooked once the pre arrangements like soaking, grating and chopping are done.

This blog is specially dedicated to my mom, because this is one of my favourite breakfasts from her list of unique recipes 😊. My mother has thought many traditional recipes which originate from Mysore region, I have already uploaded few of them in my channel VijayalakshmiVenkateshan and will be uploading more in coming days.

Rice is the most basic staple in South Indian household (We just can't skip rice on any given day except for ekadashi 😉). 

It is used to make the most soul comforting food i.e. idly, so many varieties of dosa, kajjaya, kichdi, pulao and the list goes on!!!! 

One among the list is "akki tari kadubu"( masala rice dumplings) .

I believe watching a video with proper subtitles and voice over with Ingredients list mentioned in the description box makes it easier to understand a recipe when compared to written one. 
Anyway I will post the video link and give you written recipe as well.
