Undi / Pundi is a traditional breakfast recipe from South Kanara cuisine, prepared with Idli Rava. This is one of the healthy delicacies from the Dakshin Kannada region, made specifically for the morning breakfast. Typically this is served with coconut chutney. Today for a change I have added some spices and boiled hyacinth beans in this, and it was very tasty.

1 cup idli Rava
3/4 cup fresh coconut gratings
4 tsp oil
1/4 cup boiled Avarekaalu/ hyacinth beans
1/4 cup finely chopped carrot
1 finely chopped small onion

1 sprig of curry leaves
