Hesaru Bele Tovve : RCI Karnataka

To be honest: "I knew nothing about the Karnataka cuisine untill couple of days. I knew just the names of the recipes.." ..:D
But, now .....with so many Karnataka recipes flying over the blogosphere, I am well versed with both the names and preparation of most of the recipes of Kannadiga cuisine. Thanks to RCI and Aashaji for hosting such wonderful event.



Here is my entry to RCI: Karnataka Event : Hesaru Bele Tovve. (had to refer : Glossary)




Ingredients:

Hesaru bele(Moong dal) split - 1 cup
Grated coconut - 1/2 cup
