Kallunde Recipe | Kallu thambittunde | Kannada Recipes | Karnataka Recipes

Kallunde or kalthambittunde is very traditional age old sweet with no ghee or oil . For this sweet we don’t use ghee or oil. As the name says kallu meaning stone unde is laddu, the sweet is like kallu.
This is prepared using many different ingredients. In olden days, my ajji used to dry roast the whole bengal gram(kari kadle) then using beesokallu she use d to take out the skin, making powder and she was doing the kallunde.
Whenever she was in hurry to make the kallunde she used to prepare the same with Hurigadale / fried gram. tastes exactly same and this way it is much easier. So we adopted this version of kalthambittunde( kallu thambittu)
