About:

Nuchinunde – These are steamed lentil dumplings traditionally served as a snack or as a breakfast. It is very popular in the state of Karnataka, India.

Traditionall toor dal and channa dal/split chickpeas is used to make these dumplings but here I have used multi lentils to make it healthy and relishing.

Fresh dill make the dumplings more flavorful , these hearty bites are steamed without using any oil  and can be served for a snack and  are vegan friendly, for gluten free version just skip oats and just make them with lentils.
