Nuchnunde | Nuchchina Unde | Nuchinunde Recipe

SwayamPaaka, March 24, 2016August 13, 2024

Nuchnunde Nuchchinunde is Protein rich, weight-loss breakfast or lunch or dinner dish.

Karnataka’s special, Nuchchina unde is an age old, healthy breakfast. My amma said that back in her days, her parents (my grandparents) used to grow lentils like toor, moong and channa. When they husked it, they used to get this lentil nuchchu, which are broken pieces (nuchchu means broken). Using this nuchchu, Ajji used to make the nuchinunde by adding coconut, chillies and some ginger. When she steamed it the aroma, itself was so appetizing they used to eat it with nothing but ghee :). Nuchinunde is steamed and loaded with protein. I am using toor dal here, but you can add chana and moong dal as well. Additionally and optionally you can add onions, methi leaves, or baby dill to make it even more tasty and healthy.

Try this nuchchinunde with majjige huLi , or coconut chutney 

Ingredients:

  • 1 cup toor dal wash and soaked in 3 cups of water for an hour(ತೊಗರಿ ಬೇಳೆ)
  • 1/4 cup grated coconut(ಕಾಯಿತುರಿ)
  • 2 TBSP coconut pieces(ಸಣ್ನ ಕಾಯಿ ಚೂರುಗಳು)
  • 4 to 6 green chillies(ಹಸಿರುಮೆಣಸಿನ ಕಾಯಿ)
  • 1¼ to 1½ tsp salt(ಉಪ್ಪು)
  • 1 inch ginger chopped/shredded or you can grind along with dal(ಶುಂಟಿ ಚೂರು)
  • 10 to 15 curry leaves chopped(ಕರಿಬೇವು)
  • 2 to 3 TBSP chopped cilantro /coriander leaves(ಕೊತ್ತಂಬರಿ ಸೊಪ್ಪು)

Additionally and optionally:

  • 1/4 cup chopped onion(ಈರುಳ್ಳಿ)
  • 1/4 cup chopped baby dill/methi leaves(ಸಬ್ಬಸಿಗೆ ಸೊಪ್ಪು)

Method:

Please watch the video for tips and detailed instructions
