Varai Usli
Varai is a kind of grain/millet or broken rawa and is consumed often during fasting. Varai Idli or Khotto are the common dishes prepared during festivals. Varai is also known as Samo rice / Kodo millet. It is a good source of proteins, carbohydrates and fats.
It is available in the stores in Mangalore and often known as Varai itself.Coming back to this recipe I first tasted this at my husbands cousins place in Bangalore during the season of Ganesh Chaturthi.I liked it so much that I immediately borrowed the recipe from her and have been preparing it for than 12 years from now. It is also a all time favourite dish of my hubby and me.
