Equipment
- 1 Large Vessel (2 litre capacity)
- 1 Small Bowl
- 1 Ladle
- 1 Plate
- 1 Pressure Cooker
Ingredients
- 1.5 Cups Rice
- 1/4 Cup Chana Dal
- 2 tsp Jeera (Optional; I did not use)
- Salt to Taste
- Oil for greasing your palms
Instructions
Soak the Chana Dal (Optional)
- Soak 1/4 Cup Chana Dal in lukewarm water for 10 minutes.This helps the dal cook faster.
Making Rice Rava
- Grind 1.5 Cups of Rice to a coarse rava. Do not grind it too fine. Grind till the grains are broken down but the rava granules are discernable.
Making Undrallu | Kudumulu
- Mix the rice rava, chana dal and salt in a vessel.
- Add 3.5 cups of water and mix well.
- On low flame, cook on open flame till the mix becomes like a dry upma. OR Pressure cook for 3 whistles.
- Using a spoon mix well till you break up any lumps that may have formed and you get a grainy separate mix.
- Grease your palms and make 21 Undrallu.
- Steam the Undrallu for 8 to 10 minutes.
Notes
- Do not soak the chana dal for too long or it will disintegrate.
- Do not grind to rice too fine, otherwise you will have a sticky mess on your hands and the Undrallu will be rock hard.
