Udipi Thali

Day 9 BM #56 - 
After covering Punjab, Maharashtra and Andhra, today we move on to Karnataka. Today's curry is specifically from the Udipi cuisine. The simple menu here is Masale Chitranna, Moong Dal-Udipi style, Rice and Beetroot Gravy Curry along with yogurt.

The moong dal and masale chitranna recipes will follow soon. The spices in this curry takes the humble beetroot to an altogether new plane. So if you do not relish the bland taste of beetroot, this curry will probably appeal to you.
