Hi Shantha I just came across ur site while searching for mavinakayi gojju I will try the recipe.
Ur explanation is good and helpful.
I just saw the thondekayi palya recipe and thought of giving the variation i do. i.e i add 1 tsp of hurida kadalekayi pudi ( roasted ground nut powder) instead of coconut and godambi. it will be tasteful u can also add vangibath pudi to this
Thank u for the good blog
I will go thorugh it completely

Hi Suma,
Thanks for visiting. Gojju will be an all time favorite of Kannadigas as it is a tangy, spicy and sweet dish.
About the Thodekayi Godambi Palya, it is a recipe of the coastal region of Karnataka. Yes Thondekayi also tastes great with Bhath powder.
Keep visiting.

Shantha
