HI SHILPA
I just wanted to try something sweet.. as a child i always loved dishes made with chana dal . in payasa i loved the kaddale bele payasa as we call in kannada. and next i loved this maddi. usually i would get to eat it while i go for a upanaina or other functions of konkanis.
In our home we make this dish on yel amavasya where we in udupi used to have a holy dip in malpe beach thrice or five times… then coming home my mom makes this which is to be eaten with urad Dosa. hmmm it was so yummy.
going through ur site i found it and just rushed to make it … it came out to be tasty. me and my husband both loved it
Thanks a lot.. cheers to aayis recipes

Shilpa: Sushma, I don’t have subscription to any magazine. My parents buy Sudha, Tharang and many more. They cut the recipes from those and bind into a book. I have such books with me now.

As Aruna has mentioned, adding 2 tsp of poppy seeds enhances the taste of this sweet..

Hello Swati, Sorry i don't have a blog but happy to share this info thro' shilpa's. The book is Udupi Cooking by U.B. Rajalaxmi. It's available in kannada and english translation as well. I bought this in Landmark, bangalore. But I must add the recipes are meant for someone who already understands the basics of south-indian cooking methods:) hope you find it!

Shilpa: Thanks Laths. I am sorry, got confused between you and Latha of Masala Magic. I have corrected my comment. Thanks a lot.

hi shilpa, can you please ask latha, the details of traditional udipi cook book, the name, publisher, where it is available and the contents etc. i would be interested in buying that .Have you read a new book called COOking with pedhata. it is written by President VV giri's daughter and has traditional andhra recipes. The book is too good.IT;s by jigyasa and prathibha jain.Thanks

Shilpa: Swati, I haven't read cooking with Pedatha. Heard it is good.

Sonia, I added jaggery after the daal was cooked and mixed till it was melted and mixed with daal. I didn’t cook for long time. That might be the reason for the color.

Lovely recipe! But how did you get that yellow colour? Whenever I use jaggery it gives a brown colour to the dish.
