1 cup Rice flour

1 cup Besan flour

Butter – 1 tbsp

Salt

Asafoetida

Red chillie powder – 1 teaspoon. (According to your taste)

Oil – 1 tbsp and Oil for deep-frying

You need a presser with vertical line holes:

Method:

Mix the rice flour and besan flour in a mixing bowl. Melt butter and add salt and whisk. Pour it into the flour and mix well. Now add the adafoetida and red chillie powder to the mixture and mix well. Heat a tablespoon of oil and mix it to the flour. When you think everything is evenly distributed, add little water and knead. The dough should not be too thin or thick. Now heat the oil. Apply oil to the inner walls of the presser and fill ¾ of it with the dough. When the oil is ready for frying, squeeze the dough into the oil through the press. You will see the oil bubbling up like soda and then calm down.

Fry it until the sizzling calms down completely. At this point the golden colored pakoda will be crispy. Strain the oil. Break it into small pieces and store in an airtight container when it cools completely.

Pal Urundai/ Rice flour balls in milk sauce

You will need:

• ¾ cup grated coconut
• pinch of cardamom powder
• 1 tsp salt
• 3 tbsp sugar(optional)
• 1 cup milk or coconut milk
• 2 cup water
  
• ¼ cup boiled water

Step 1:

Boil 2 cups of water in a pan. In the mean time take a mixing bowl and add puttu flour, grated coconut, salt and sugar,boiled water and mix it with a spoon.
Step 2:

When the dough is still warm just shape it as small balls. The size of the ball should be smaller than golf ball. Smaller the ball size it taste better.
Step 3:

Just drop the balls into the boiling water one by one and allow it to cook for 5 mins. After 5 mins just add the milk and cardamom powder along with this mixture and allow it to boil for few more minutes(5 to 7 mins) till the urunda is fully cooked inside. Add salt and sugar at this stage if needed.

Step 4:

Mix a tbsp of puttu flour with 2 tbsp cold water and then pour it to the boiling(water, milk, puttu balls) mixture. This will thicken the sauce. By mixing the puttu flour with water you can avoid lump formations.

Step 5:

Pal urunda is now ready to serve. You can serve this for breakfast.

Note:

You can make this urunda only with sugar too. Even that will taste good.

Don't press it too hard to get the ball shape. This will harden the balls and will take more time to cook
