Brown Rice Undrallu – Vinayaka Chavithi Special

As we all know, undrallu and kudumulu are the most favorite treats for Lord Vinayaka. I always make these treats for every Vinayaka Chavithi day. I usually make undrallu with white rice, but this time I wanted to make these using brown rice and they were as delicious as the white rice undrallu. 

Ingredients:

• 1 cup Brown Rice
• ¼ cup Bengal Gram (పచ్చి సెనగపప్పు, Chana Dal)
• ½ tsp Cumin Seeds
• 2 cups Water
• 1 tsp Ghee
• Salt

Preparation:

Wash and soak brown rice for an hour. Then spread it loosely on a newspaper until it dries. Then grind it without adding any water until it attains coarse texture (like Rava). Keep aside.

Wash and soak chana dal for about 30 minutes. 

Later heat ghee in a pan, add cumin seeds and chana dal and sauté well for a little time. 

Now pour water, add salt and bring it to a boil. Then add the ground rice slowly and stir well so that no lumps are formed. 

When all the water is absorbed and the contents become thick just like upma, turn off the flame and allow the contents to cool down a bit.

Finally take small batches of the mixture and form into balls of any size. Now great tasting undrallu are ready!!

Offer these yummy and healthy undrallu to Lord Vinayaka and make him happy :)
