How to make Rice Rava at home
- Take a cup of rice in a vessel. Add enough water and wash them twice.
- Drain off the water completely.
- Spread them on a cloth and let me dry in the sun or under the fan.
- When the rice is nicely dried, transfer them to a blender.
- Pulse the rice for 2-3 minutes to make a coarse rava.
Preparation for kudumulu or undrallu
- Wash and soak chana dal for 10-15 mins. If you are using coconut, chop them into small chunks and keep aside. I love to add coconut in kudumulu which gives a nice taste and chunky texture.
- In a thick bottomed vessel, take 2 cups of water. Add salt.
- Drain off the chana dal and add them to water along with coconut pieces and bring them to boil.
- Now add the rice rava by stirring continuously without any lumps.
- Cover and cook them on a low flame for 5 mins.
- When the rava is cooked nicely, remove the lid and let it cool down. If you want to do quickly, transfer the mixture to a wide pan or plate and spread it.
How to make Kudumulu or Undrallu
- When the mixture is slightly cool and you were able to hold it with hands. Take a small portion of the mixture and make into balls. If the mixture sticks to your hand, then dip your fingers in water whenever it is required.
- Place the balls in a wide vessel or plate. Repeat the above steps for the rest of the mixture.
- Meanwhile, take a vessel with a 1/2 cup of water, turn on the stove, and place an idly plate in it. You can also use an idli cooker or pressure cooker without a whistle.
- Arrange the prepared balls in the idli plate.
- Cover and steam them for 8-10 minutes depending on the age of rice and size of the balls.
- Cool them completely before offering to Lord Ganesha.
