Steamed Kadubu

Akki Kadubu

One of the  fond food memories of my childhood was Sunday brunches when mom made akki kadubu with chicken curry
Then we all went away to hostels for further studies. Sunday brunches reduced
But whenever we came back home for holidays mom made a habit of making those special dishes for us and that meant coming home to a feast..
Akki Kadubua, a traditional Malenadu cuisine is basically Indian streamed rice flour dumpling  best paired with chicken/mutton curry, coconut chutney with ghee.
