Kottige/Khotto/Gunda (Idli in Jackfruit leaves cup)








Kottige, Khotto and Gunda are the name of Idli; made of same batter but has a lovely aroma and taste of jackfruit leaves!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!. Yes, jackfruit leaves.
                                   In June when I visited my athey (dad’s sister) in Udipi ; she prepared kottige for breakfast ; I was so excited and started clicking pictures for my blog but I could not click the photos of making kottige cups as she made  kottige cups  a day before I reach Udipi. Kottige cup is made of 4 jackfruit leaves pined with coconut leaf sticks or toothpicks. It looks simple to make unless you try!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! 
The reason for posting this today is; tomorrow is Krishnashtami /Janmsthami so kottige prepared in every house in Mangalore and served with moong curry and sweet coconut milk. I like kottige with garlic chutney and mangalorean chicken curry
