DESCRIPTION
BEETROOT KOLA URUNDAI | Snacks
The food of the Chettinad region of Tamilnadu is so versatile. They are the masters of cooking vegetarian dishes that mimic meat. In Tamilnadu, meat is not consumed during many festive months. So dishes like these are cooked by the women folks to satiate the meat-loving people in their household. Kola Urundai is traditionally made with mutton. This pure vegetable version has Beetroots mixed with fragrant spices. Fennel Seeds gives this dish a very very nice flavour. Here is an easy recipe on how to prepare these mouth-watering Urundai's!
