Undi is one traditional breakfast dish of coastal region which is infamous for no fault of its own. You can see young people using the phrase ‘Pundi beyiduvudu’ or if you ask any konkani person about days breakfast they may reply saying ‘Unde baayl undi’ in a funny way.
I have not prepared this myself and documenting moms recipe here. Preparing undi does not require any preparation on the previous day. If you have about 1hr in the morning you can prepare this. Also useful when there are few guests for breakfast as it tastes good when hot and even when it is cooled. Also you can pair it with anything- curry, chutney, chutney powder, jaggery syrup, soye choornu, Coconut oil or just eat as it is.
