Pundi is another version of our very own Undi/ Oondi. But this is prepared without coconut. This is a all time favourite at our place especially kids love this very much. The preparation is very simple . December is one of my favourite month of the year as I love Christmas and baking . I had thought of sharing a bake recipe and when I was searching the pictures I found this picture and thought of sharing this recipe as soon as possible before I forget it. This compliments well with groundnut chutney. Marwai Pundi is also a speciality of the Mangalorean Bunt community. Marwai is clam and pundi is served with clam sukha and together it is called as Marwai pundi.
