[Indian Recipes] Godhuma Rava Undrallu

What are Godhuma Undrallu?

Undrallu are traditional steamed dumplings from Andhra Pradesh and usually made during Ganesh Chaturthi or Vinayakaya Chavithi Festival. Traditionally, undrallu made with rice rava or broken rice but I have replaced the rice rava with wheat rava or broken wheat to prepare Godhuma Undrallu.

How many types are Undrallu are there?

There are a different kind of authentic and innovative undrallu recipes that are usually prepared and offered as naivedyam to Lord Ganesh or Vinayaka on Ganesh Chaturthi festival. We make both sweet and savory varieties of undrallu.

How to Serve Undrallu?

They taste great with sambar, ginger chutney or any other chutney.
Can I make Undrallu without steaming?

No, you can not make them without steaming. Steaming helps the dumplings hold their shape and will give them a good texture.
How to prevent them from breaking?

To prevent wheat undrallu from breaking, avoid over-cooking and over-steaming and use the right amount of water to cook the wheat rava or godhuma rava. And tightly roll the cooked mixture into round balls before steaming.

Details: 

Heat a teaspoon of ghee in a heavy-bottomed pan or vessel and add cumin seeds to it.
Let the cumin seeds splutter.

Add the soaked and drained chana dal to the ghee and saute for a minute.

Now add 1.5 cups of water to it and bring it to a rolling boil.

When it comes to a rolling boil, reduce the flame to low.
Add 1/2 cup of wheat rava or godhuma rava to the boiling water.
Add salt and mix.
Cover the pan with a lid and let it cook completely.

Remove from the flame and let the cooked mixture cool down a bit.

Grease your hands and take a small portion of mixture.

Roll it tightly to shape into round balls.

Place the shapped balls on a steamer plate or idli plate and steam cook for 10 minutes over a high flame.

Turn off the heat and let them cool down a bit.
Serve with sambar or chutney.
