Nuppetta

Nuppetta is a traditional Indian dish, particularly popular in the states of Kerala and Tamil Nadu. It is a savory snack made from fermented rice and lentils, typically urad dal. The process of making nuppetta involves soaking rice and urad dal together, then grinding them into a paste. This paste is then mixed with salt and allowed to ferment for a few days. The fermentation process gives nuppetta its unique taste and texture. Once fermented, the mixture is shaped into small, round balls or patties, which are then steamed or fried until they become crispy. Nuppetta is often served as a snack or appetizer, accompanied by chutneys or sambar. It is a popular street food in India and is known for its tangy flavor and crunchy texture.
