Pala Undrallu for Vinayaka Chavithi | Ganesh Chaturthi
Aruna
Pala Undrallu is a traditional recipe from Andhra Pradesh. Pala Undrallu are rice flour dough balls in milk flavoured with coconut, cardamom, and sugar. This mellow dessert is a great way to use any rice flour dough leftover after making Modak.
In a heavy bottomed vessel, bring the water to boil.
Turn down the heat to low.
Add salt and ghee.
Gradually add the rice flour and stir well.
Continue to cook over medium heat for a couple of minutes till you get a firm dough.
Take off the heat and set aside to cool a bit. The dough should not cool to room temperature because then it will dry up and crack as you make the undrallu.
Making the Undrallu
Make small gooseberry sized balls of the cooked rice flour. For Puja, I make 21 undrallu.
Getting the Milk Ready
In a heavy bottomed vessel, bring the milk to boil.
Turn the heat to low.
Add coconut, sugar, and cardamom powder.
Mix well till the sugar dissolves.
The Final Steps
Add the Undrallu to the boiling milk.
On low heat, let the milk simmer for 5 to 7 minutes.
Turn off the heat, cover and set the Pala Undrallu aside for 10 minutes.
Serve Pala Undrallu at room temperature or chilled.
