Sundidele

Sundidele is a traditional dish originating from the Sundi region of India, particularly from the state of Karnataka. It is a popular breakfast dish that is typically served during the festival of Makar Sankranti, which marks the beginning of the sun's journey northward. The dish is made from a fermented batter of rice and lentils, which is cooked in a special earthen pot called a sundi. The sundi is a large, cylindrical pot with a narrow opening at the top, which is covered with a lid made of banana leaves or cloth.

The batter is prepared by soaking rice and lentils in water overnight, and then grinding them into a smooth paste. The paste is then fermented by adding a small amount of yeast or by allowing it to sit in a warm place for a few hours. The fermented batter is then poured into the sundi and cooked over a slow fire for several hours. The dish is typically served with a side of chutney or sambar, and is often accompanied by a cup of hot tea or coffee.

Sundidele is a nutritious and filling breakfast dish that is enjoyed by people of all ages. It is a popular dish during the festival of Makar Sankranti, but it is also enjoyed throughout the year. The dish is a reflection of the Sundi region's rich culinary tradition, and is a testament to the region's unique cultural heritage.
