One of my signature dishes within my family & friends is Rubbida Huli. In Bangalore and here, all my relatives make 2 kinds of huli. One in which the masala is fried and ground or the huli with instant pudi. In my case, I do use the huli pudi, but with a different twist. So, here comes my recipe for the huli.
I use the same recipe for making huli with different kinds of vegetables, aqnd lentils.
Ingredients for the masala:
- 3-4 tsp huli pudi
- 1 tsp ground cinnamon powder
- 1/4 cup grated coconut
- 3 tsp tomato paste
- 1 tsp tamarind paste
Ingredients for the huli:
- 1 cup toor dal
- 2 chopped potatoes
- 2 chopped carrots
- 1/2 lb chopped beans
Method:
In your mixer, grind all the ingredients as listed in the masala. Pressure cook toor dal along with all the vegetables. In a big vessel, add 3 tsp oil. Add mustard seeds, hing, curry leaves, and haldi. Next, add the masala and fry for 2 -3 minutes. When the masala for the huli starts boiling, add the cooked toor dal and vegetables. Add salt to taste.
Serve with Rice or chapathi.
You can use beans, carrots and potatoes and follow the recipe for Kootu also which is posted here:
