KODUBALE

Kodubale is a traditional snack from Karnataka which is made from rice flour and few other flours along with some coconut and spices. A very addictive tea time snack. Loved by all age groups

It is made in the form of a circle, but I have shaped it as a drop. Recipe may vary slightly across households.
