I was searching for Karnataka breakfast recipes and loved this paddu recipe.
My son is at home this time for few days and he loves spicy food so I have made this paddu or appe spicy. Fresh cooked rice or leftover rice both can be used for this appe. At first I didn’t plan to use coconut but my vegetable vendor bought fresh coconut in the morning. So I have used it. Coconut definitely enhance the taste. But if you don’t have coconut then you can skip it.
