Undrallu are traditional steamed dumplings from Andhra Pradesh and usually made during Ganesh Chaturthi or Vinayakaya Chavithi Festival. Traditionally, undrallu made with rice rava or broken rice but I have replaced the rice rava with wheat rava or broken wheat to prepare Godhuma Undrallu.

Can I make Undrallu without steaming?
No, you can not make them without steaming. Steaming helps the dumplings hold their shape and will give them a good texture.
How to prevent them from breaking?
To prevent wheat undrallu from breaking, avoid over-cooking and over-steaming and use the right amount of water to cook the wheat rava or godhuma rava. And tightly roll the cooked mixture into round balls before steaming.
