POTTUKADALAI URUNDAI / FRIED GRAM DHAL URUNDAI




INGREDIENTS:

Pottukadalai - 1 Cup
Jaggery        - 1 Cup
Cardamom
powder       - a pinch
Water         - 1 Cup
Rice flour   - 1 Tsp for greasing

HOW TO MAKE:

Heat 1 cup of water in a deep pan and add the jaggery.  Mix well and wait until the jaggery dissolves completely.  Turn of the stove and filter the syrup to remove the impurities.  Transfer the syrup into the pan and repeat, reduce the flame when syrup starts boiling.  The syrup starts bubbling and evoke the jaggery aroma. Add cardamom powder for nice flavour.  Now check for its string consistency (Kambi padham) by placing few drops of syrup in a bowl of water.  You could see that the syrup wont dissolve in water and able to make a ball (as shown in the fig).  There reaches the consistency.









At this stage add the fried gram dhal in the jaggery syrup and mix well.


Grease your hands with little rice flour and take a small quantity of the mixture and try to to make small balls when it is warm.  Wet your hands with water and firmly hold each ball to make stiff.



Yummy Pottukadalai urundaies are ready :-)
