Khotto with stepwise pictures
I had posted ‘how to weave Khotto’ recently.But due to some technical issue I could not post this post immediately.Khotto is nothing but idli ‘s steamed in the jackfruit cups.The flavour of the jackfruit leaves is infused in the steamed dumpling.Khotto is a popular and authentic dish of the G.S.B’s.It is often prepared during some festivals like Ganesh Chaturthi,,Ugadi etc…The batter is same as of idli.The same batter may be poured in a plate and steamed.
Back then at my Amma’s place they used to prepare this often on Sunday’s in large quantities as there were unexpected visitors and this dish would be the saviour.Even now in some household they follow the tradition especially in joint families.But being in the nuclear family also I follow the Sunday tradition.For perfect Khotto one must use good quality split black gram dal and the batter is advisable to be ground in the grinder for better results.The unique way to relish Khotto is by crumbling them in lots of hinga chutney and enjoying it. Bliss!
