Akki Shavige/Ottu Shavige Chitranna
This is the extension of my older post on "Akki shavige/ottu shavige". Today I am sharing with you how to prepare chitranna out of akki shavige. The basic akki shavige is just plain and mild. It needs accompaniments like chutney, pickles, sambar, kayi halu or it should be mixed with spices in order to consume. So today let us see how this basic ottu shavige is mixed with spices to make it savory in Udupi.
