udnittu recipe | uddina hittu recipe with step by step photo recipe. udunittu is considered to be one of the signature dishes of udupi, karnataka. it is most popular raita made with urad dal flour. the texture and flavour is so unique that you can not resist from licking over.
the thick sour curd is mixed with urad dal flour. the tempering is poured finally after mixing with chopped green chillis and ginger. the udnittu / uddina hittu is complete when you lick and have a crunchy bite of sandige menansu (sun dried curd chilli). the flavour is further enhanced when you mix steamed rice with some coconut oil.
udnittu is and always my favourite and remains my favourite as it it has intense taste, flavour and a rich texture which can not be explained. i always prepare udnittu spicy and have my complete lunch with just udnittu. it is amazing and finger licking tasty.
anyway, have a look at my other chutney or tambli recipes, especially pomegranate tambli, bhindi raita, gulla ale bajji, batate ale bajji, vitamin soppu tambli, tomato tambli, menthe tambli and spring onion tambli
