Turundavate

Turundavate is a traditional Indian dish originating from the state of Karnataka. It is a popular breakfast item, particularly in the coastal regions of the state. The dish is made from a fermented batter of rice and urad dal, which is then cooked in a special pan called a turunda. The turunda is a shallow, round pan with a lid, which gives the dish its name. The batter is cooked until it forms a thick, spongy cake, which is then cut into pieces and served with coconut chutney or sambar. Turundavate is often enjoyed with a cup of filter coffee or tea. The dish is known for its unique texture and flavor, which is a result of the fermentation process. It is a staple in many households in Karnataka and is often served during festivals and special occasions.
