I love this vegetarian dish a lot, espcially with Jowar Bread (called Jolada Rotti in North Karnataka). Pundi Pallya - is simply awesome - has lot of green content, Iron, and energy from Rava or Broken Jower cooked. I also love the Garlic taste in it and boiled Peanuts. I have asked several North Kannadigas on the preparation method for this and found the most simplest, fastest way to prepare it, especially, ifyou like in the Bay Area in US.

You can buy Pundi Pallya soppu in many of the Indian Groceries around Bay area. You need to take the leaves out one by one, wash them clean. Take a cup of Rava and mix them in a vessel, which can be put into a Pressure Cooker. Add two cups of water (basically double the size of Rava), cook this along with some Chana Daal, Peanuts, few pieces of Garlic, 2-3 green chillies chopped. Add a pinch of turmeric, Salt for taste, Oil - 2 tea spoons, Hing for smell. After cooking, mix the whole thing to make a uniform paste. If too, think add little water and mix again.

Enjoy this with Chapaties, or Jowar Roties. This can be stored for 2-3 days also and eaten. It tastes great either cold or hot, so doesn't really matter......enjoy!!

More stuff to come later......
