Hi Veni..
I made kottige using Sorekayi in the place of Mullusouthe. Came out good.Thanks for the recipe. :) Already ate them for breakfast and lunch. I have some more left. Can we prepare something like pathrode oggarane from kottige? Have you tried anything with left over kottige?
Thanks for trying and letting me know...:)
I did not try any Oggarane/Curry out of Kottige. You can give a try.
Hi Krishnaveni,
my mom use to make this every time when mullusouthe gets little over ripped and we can not eat it raw either directly with salt peper or in any kosambari.
her method was quick one though, I thought I should share with you.
1. wash and soak idly rice rava in water (for about 10 mnts)
2. mean while take eating cucumber (mullusouthe) peel out, cut into half (length wise) remove all inner parts like seeds and soft tirulu, keep them aside, then grate it with help of a grater (may be fine or coarse grating does not matter). squeeze out water from grated cucumber and keep them separate.
3. take grated coconut, some (green chillies and salt for salty/kara idly) (some Jagari and yelakki-ilachi for sweet idly) grind using cucumber water that got by squeezing it out.
you can add inner part of cucumber that you removed earlier, like seeds if they are not too ripped ones and inner tirulu as well and grind them all together into smooth paste..
4. now remvove idli rava from water (squeezing out all water) into a big vessel
5. add ground paste, grated cucumber and mix well, if it becomes too thick can smoothen it out by adding little buttermilk [curd/yogurt and water] for salty idli and coconut milk for sweet idli.
6. then steam it as idli using any of following method. like
a) use idli stand.
b) use halasina kotte
c) use bale yele ( as you describe in your recipe)
d) use Arasina yele (mostly for sweet idly)
7. server salt/spicy one with little hot coconut oil, and sweet one with hot ghee on top.
Hope you liked this recipe.
Please send me your comments.

Hi just wanted to know instead of rice can v use akki tari?
@Unknown,
You can use Akki tari but you have to soak it for 1-2 hrs and then grind it little bit.
