MOSARU KODUBALE
Thunder showers have been lashing the city after Bengaluru suffered extreme hot weather conditions. Watching the cool showers and the rain drenched trees munching on Kodubales is a joyful experience enjoyed by every Bengalurean at one time or another. Mosaru Kodubale is a variation of the usual Kodubales . These Kodubales which are crisp on the outside and soft on the inside taste good when eaten fresh. A perfect snack for a rainy day.
