RICE BALLS/NEER URUNDAI
in BREAKFAST/DINNER, TIFFIN on Thursday, September 27, 2012
This recipe, I learnt from my mother and we call this dish as neer urundai and I have heard some people name this as uppurundai. Anyway here is the method by which I make.
Ingredients
- Idly Rice ----- 1 1/2 cup
- Coconut ----- 1/2 cup
- salt & water--- as needed
Method
- Soak Idly rice for 3 hours.
- Grind to a batter just like we grind for Idly/dosa ,then add salt and coconut ,mix well.
- Heat a heave bottomed vessel or Kadai and pour this batter.
- Keep on Stirring, till the batter turns to dough consistency.
- The consistency will be like,the dough is not much sticky if you make balls with your hands.
- After the dough cools down,it will not be sticky.
- Make small sized balls (sedai sized) using the dough.Keep aside.
- In another large vessel boil water and add these balls in two batches(water should be enough to immerse these balls).
- First add one portion of balls to water, cover with lid.
- Cook covered for 5-6 minutes.(Keep the lid a little open to avoid over flowing when it starts boiling)
- To check if the balls has been cooked or not,if u take out a ball and put it on a plate from little high,the ball should bounce a little. If its not cooked, it wont be bouncing.
- By simply looking at the balls you can understand that the rice balls are cooked or not.There will be a colour change.
- Carefully take out the balls little by little,straining the water.
- I use idly cooker for cooking these balls.
- Don't add water more than half of the vessel which ever vessel you use, as it boils it will over flow.
- Cook the second batch of balls in the same manner.
- The balls will be soft and tasty that it can be ate as such.
- Don't waste the water, its consistency would now be like kanji(thick), so you can add jaggery and cardamom powder to it and boil for 2 minutes and add a little milk and have as a drink!
- You can also add simply salt and butter milk to that water remaining and have it as a drink!
Or else you can also try the following:
PEPPER JEERA RICE BALLS
For that you need
Pepper ------- 1 tsp
Jeera -------- 1 tsp
curry leaves ----- 1 spring
Ghee ------------ 1 tsp
Method:
- Crush pepper and jeera coarsely.
- Heat ghee in a kadai and add pepper jeera powder followed by curry leaves.
- Then after some 30 seconds add these rice balls and mix gently so that the pepper jeera coats these balls.
- Serve hot!
The above measurements will serve 2 people.
