For those of you who don't know what Mudde is, It is a traditional Karnataka's meal. It is made up of ragi and is a high source of vitamin and good for health. A lot of families in south Karnataka eat this everyday. Mudde is a staple dinner in my house. I used to watch my mom make it and learnt it from her. Initially when I started making it, it was not at all good and had knots, eventually I got better at making it. To be honest, the process of making mudde is easy. It requires only two incredients, ragi powder and water. The process is to boil water and add ragi powder to it and keep stirring it until it becomes a dough like consistency. Then you can shape it into balls and serve it with sambar, some people also eat it with ghee. It is a very filling meal and keeps you full for a long time. Now you might be wondering what is the big deal about making this dish, if it is so easy? Right it is not that hard and with practice everyone can make it. Then what is the skill that I have picked up over others? how am I different from others who make it?
but most importantly I learnt an important lesson, even though I have been making it for a long time, it does not mean the process is always smooth and perfect. I make mistakes too, sometimes I add too much water, sometimes I add too much ragi powder, sometimes it becomes lumpy, sometimes I overcook it and it becomes hard. if you rush it, it will not turn out well. The most important thing is that no matter what the mistake is, I have learnt to recover from it and get it to a good state. This is an attitude that I started inculcating, the goal is not to be perfect but to be able to recover from mistakes. This blog is not about how to make mudde, it is about an important lesson it thought me. I have been making mudde form past 5 years, now I have got good at it Overall, I think mudde is a delicious and healthy meal that everyone should try at least once.
