Ganesha Chaturthi / Vinayaka Chaturthi brings back the memories of childhood, where we all cousins would gather... have fun...decorate our Ganesha mantapa, do pooja and have lots of yummy food prepared by grandmother, mom, aunt's...

Today I am going to share a recipe which is tasty, healthy & traditional recipe from the kitchens of Karnataka - Avi Kadubu hittu / dough for Steamed dumplings. We usually prepare Avi Kadubu during Ganesha Chaturthi / Vinayaka Chaturthi as offering to Lord Ganesha. These dumplings or kadubu's are prepared from rice flour dough stuffed with sweet or spicy fillings and then steamed.

For making this kadubu the important step is to get the kadubu dough right. We make kara Kadubu (spicy) and sweet kadubu using this dough. So with out wasting time let's get started with the recipe for dough...
