Shantha,
Is this same as sandige hittina saaru? Let me know. I don’t remember if it is ambode dipped in gravy for sandige hittina saaru.
Thanks,
Lalitha
You are welcome Satya.
Lalitha – I am not sure about Sandige Huli, maybe it is ambode in huli. Another variation is Ambode in Gojju known as Gojjambode. Please check the following link for the same-

Hi Shantha,
Nice Recipe…. Yesterday in a cook show watched a similar dish, but the difference was instead of Nucchinunde added here, they added a “Battalu Kadubu”-> combination of Jolada Hittu+kadale Hittu+1 spoon Refined Oil+Salt+ Kneaded them and made in the shape of small,small battalu and immersed and boiled them in Huli… It is a north karnataka recipe called battalu kadubu it seems… May be it is a variation of this one..

Nagashree.
