Ellu Urundai

The Recipe:
Ingredients:
Till seeds-1/2cup
Raw rice-1cup
Jaggery-120gm
Water-1/4cup
Urad dhal flour-1/8cup
Oil-to fry
Procedure:
  • Soak rice for 2 hours and filter water.
  • Grind it to a fine flour and sieve it with urad dhal flour.
  • Add till seeds.
  • Crush jaggery and add water to it.
  • Bring to a boil and switch off flame.
  • Filter the jaggery syrup directly into the flour and mix it with a spoon.
  • At first the dough will seem to be runny but when it cools it will come to the perfect consistency.
  • Roll out firm small balls. I made 90 urundais with the given ingredients.
  • Heat oil on medium flame and deep fry the balls.
  • If oil is very hot the urundai will be blackened on the outside but would be raw inside.
  • If the oil is slightly hot the the balls will be disintegrated.
  • If the heat is perfect and the dough consistency is correct then you can see that the ball cracks.
  • Fry till golden brown and remove from oil and allow it to cool.
  • When cool it becomes crisp. Enjoy.

I love painting, dress designing and of course cooking. This blog which started as an online cookery book has given me a great insight into baking and has transformed me into a home baker who is now thriving to learn a lot about cakes and decorating techniques. This blog has thousands of tried and tasted vegetarian recipes around the world and eggless bakes.
