Coconut is an integral part of most Udupi recipes . The very reason for this is the abundance of coconuts in the coastal region:)
Today I present to you a recipe from the Coastal Karnataka cuisine ā Rice Nā Coconut fritters / Kaayi Vade:)

Raw Rice (Sona masoori or Idli rice) ā 1 cup

Puffed Rice / Murmura ā 1 cup
Jeera / cumin seeds ā 1 tsp

Salt ā as per taste

Method:
METHOD:
Soak the raw rice with enough water for about an hour.
Drain the rice and grind it together with coconut, puffed rice, green chillies, cumin seeds and salt.
Add just a little water while grinding. Making sure not to make the mix watery.
After grinding, add the rice flour to the ground mixture and mix well.
Heat oil in a deep bottomed frying pan. And on a plastic sheet, smear some oil and take a small ball of the ground mixture. Pat it gently to a round puris similar to the size of pani puris but a tad bit thicker, using just couple of your fingers.
Once the oil is heated, fry these fritters till golden brown.
Serve hot with some hot cup of tea:)
