Beaten Rice Recipe



All those who have travelled from Bijapur to Hubli via Bijapur-Hubli highway(in Karnataka,India), must have definitely stopped at this small village named Kolhar.
Kolhar, for years is known for its "gadige mosaru"( gadige - mud/earthern pot, mosaru-curd)
Every time we went to our village in Bijapur district, we made sure to go via Kolhar and take a break at Kolhar to taste the "mosaru-avalakki"(made of curd and beaten rice)

The use of buffalo milk makes the mosaru(curd) very tasty.In villages the milk is boiled in earthern pots on stoves(wood is used as fuel)

Mosaru Avalakki is very simple to prepare and tastes great.
I have replaced the gadige mosaru with the normal curd prepared at home.
(It may not taste as good as the mosaru avalakki prepared with gadige mosaru, but its still tasty)

Ingredients:
1. Fried gram chutney - 1 tbsp
2. Beaten rice/paddy - 1 cup
3. Curd - 3/4 cup
4. Salt as per taste

Preparation:
On a plate , make one layer of beaten rice.
On the beaten rice, put one layer of curd.
Using a spoon, spread the Fried gram chutney and salt on top of the curd.

How to eat - using the spoon, slowly mix the contents at one end of the plate and eat.

Simple, ain't it!!!
