Uppesaru

Yet another kicker for ragi Mudde. This recipe is popular in rural karnataka and amongst gowda community. This is usually prepared in the season of Avrekalu as it requires fresh avrekalu.

I have modified this a bit. Classic Uppesaru is served with chutney along with cooked lentil. but in my recipe I combined them togather and boiled it as I am not found of raw garlic smell.
Here is the recipe for it.
