The ketti Urundai is made for festivals and special occasions. This sweet dish is made with green gram dhal, rice and coconut bits.

Ingredients

  • Green Gram – 4 cup

  • Parboiled Rice – 1 cup

  • Chutney dhal (Pottu kadalai) – 1 cup

  • Coconut – cut into small bits – 1 cup

  • Jaggery – 3 cups

  • Cardamom powder – 1 teaspoon

  • Dry Ginger Powder – 1/2 teaspoon

Directions

  • In a kadai add the green gram and dry fry till it turns its colour. Keep it aside. Fry the rice till it turns light brown and keep it aside.
  • In the same kadai add the chutney dhal and fry for two to three minutes. Keep it aside. Then put the coconut bits and fry till it turns its colour.
  • In a mixie put the fried green gram and rice in small quantities and grind to a fine powder. Put this powder in a broad vessel. Add fried chutney dhal, coconut and cardamom powder. Mix the contents thoroughly.
  • Powder the jaggery and add to a heavy bottomed vessel with 1/2 cup water. When it starts boiling, take it out and drain it so that any mud will be removed. Keep the drained jaggery in stove and make a thick syrup. Keep the stove in low flame.
  • Put a cup of dhal flour in a plate and take out a laddle of syrup and pour over the dhal powder. Mix it by using a spoon. Make a lemon size balls. Finish all the flour like this.
  • This is very nutritious and can stay good for a month.

Notes

  • I have used whole green gram with the skin. If you use green gram dhal (Payatham paruppu), then the urundai will be in nice golden yellow colour.
