Wheat Sweet Undrallu Recipe - Vinayaka Chavithi Naivedyam

Godhuma Rava Sweet Undrallu Recipe - Easy and delicious steamed sweet dumplings for Ganesh Chaturthi!

steamed jaggery dumplings garnished with coconut and served on a banana leaf during a festival.

What are wheat sweet undrallu?

Undrallu is a traditional Andhra style steamed dumpling that is usually made during the Ganesh Chaturthi festival. Traditionally it is made with rice rava / broken raw rice, lentils and cumin seeds but I have developed a sweet variation of the traditional one using jaggery and wheat rava / broken wheat.

Wheat rava is also known as godhuma rava, godhi rava, gothumai rava and dalia.

It is a wonderful festive dish and super easy to make with few ingredients.

Can I make them without steaming?

No, steaming helps the dumplings hold their shape and will give them a good texture.

Can I use bulgar instead of wheat rava?

Yes, bulgar would work in this recipe.

How do you serve them?

They can be made during Vinayaka Chavithi or Ganesh Chaturthi. However, they can be enjoyed at any time of the year as a sweet snack.

How long can I store them?

They won't last long. You can store them in the refrigerator for a day or two.

How to make it vegan?

Replace ghee with coconut oil to make vegan undrallu.

Step by step preparation:

  • Wash moong dal and soak them in water for 15 minutes. Drain and set aside.

  • Heat a teaspoon of ghee in a heavy-bottomed pan, add and sautee the soaked moong dal for 1 - 2 minutes.

  • Now add the jaggery and water to it and mix well. (If you feel your jaggery is not clean, dissolve the jaggery in the mentioned quantity of water separately first and drain. Then add the jaggery water to the sauteed lentils.)
  • Bring it to a rolling boil.

  • Once it comes to a boil, add the wheat rava, coconut and cardamom powder.
  • Mix well and cover it with a lid. Reduce the flame to low and let it cook completely. Stir occasionally.

  • Once it is soft and cooked, turn off the heat and keep it aside to cool.

  • Grease your hands with little ghee or oil and divide the cooked mixture into 12 round shape balls.

  • Arrange them in a greased steamer or idli plate and steam cook over high flame for 7- 8 minutes.
  • Turn off the flame and allow them to cool.

Kobbari Poornam Boorelu Recipe - Coconut Poornalu {Video}

Kobbari Poornalu or Coconut Purnam Burelu - Crispy and delicious South Indian fried fritters stuffed with a sweet coconut filling.

What are coconut poornalu?

It is a delicious South Indian sweet snack usually made during festivals such as Varalakshmi Vratham, Ganesh Chaturthi and Navratri.

Kobbari poornalu or coconut poornam boorelu are a variation of the traditional poornam boorelu where we dip the sweet lentil balls in a rice-lentil batter and deep fry them to get a crispy outer layer.

The coconut filling is a great alternative if you don't have time to make the traditional lentil / chana dal filling.

Can I prepare the stuffing in advance?

Absolutely, you can prepare in beforehand and store it in the refrigerator.

How long can I store them?

They keep well for 2-3 days in an airtight container.

Serving suggestions:

They can be prepared as naivedyam or prasadam during Indian festivals.

They are best when served warm with a cup of coffee or tea.

Filling variations:

Poppy Seeds - You can add 1-2 teaspoons of roasted poppy seeds to the coconut for a variation.

Moong Dal - You can also make a filling using moong dal instead of coconut. Check my Pesara Poornalu Recipe to know how to make it.

Sooji - If you don't have much time in hand, use rava kesari or sooji ka halwa.

Few tips:

  • The consistency of the batter should be thick (similar to the thick dosa batter).
  • If you feel the batter is not thick enough, add a little bit of rice flour to make it thick. But adding the rice flour will make them a bit harder.
  • Make sure the coconut balls are fully coated with batter before dropping them into the hot oil. If it is not fully covered with the batter, the stuffing will come out while frying in the oil
  • If you are a beginner, use a spoon instead of your fingers to drop it into the oil.
  • If you want to make soft poornalu, use equal amounts of urad dal and rice.
  • Make sure you use enough oil to deep fry them. Otherwise, they will stick to the bottle of the pan while frying.

Step by step preparation:

  • Wash and soak the rice and urad dal overnight or 6 hours.

  • Drain water and grind the soaked rice and urad dal to a smooth batter by adding little water.
  • The batter should be like a thick dosa batter. If you feel the batter is thin, mix it with some rice flour.
  • Add a pinch of salt to the batter and mix well. Keep it aside for an hour.

  • To prepare the coconut mixture, combine the coconut and jaggery in a pan.
  • Mix and let the jaggery dissolves completely.

  • Stir continuously until you get a thick and lumpy mixture.
  • Add the cardamom powder and remove the pan from the heat.

  • Let it cool completely and make 15 small round balls out of it.
  • Heat oil in a pan for deep frying.

  • Now dip each coconut stuffing ball into the prepared batter and let it coat evenly.
  • Make sure the coconut ball is fully coated with batter.

  • Gently drop it in the hot oil and deep fry until golden brown.
  • Drain them on paper towels.
  • Serve them warm or cold.

Vegan Banana Chocolate Spread

Banana Chocolate Spread Recipe - You only need 4 ingredients to make this delicious homemade jam or spread. A great way to use ripe bananas!

What is banana chocolate spread?

It is a simple and delicious homemade jam or spread made with ripe bananas and cocoa powder. You just need 4 ingredients and 15 minutes to make this insanely delicious homemade spread. This creamy banana chocolate jam is gluten-free, vegan and nut-free.

Itis very easy to make and so much better than the store-bought jams. You can serve this jam with bread, pancakes, yogurt or cereal.

Ingredients:

  • Banana - Use ripe or overripe bananas for the flavor and sweetness.
  • Unsweetned Cocoa Powder - You could also use cacao powder instead of cocoa powder.
  • Sugar - I have used white sugar in this recipe. You can swap it with brown sugar or coconut sugar. You can't use maple syrup in this recipe.
  • Lemon Juice - Do not skip adding lemon juice, it enhances the taste and it is a natural preservative.
  • Salt - You can also add a pinch of salt. (I didn't add)

Can I use dark chocolate?

Yes. When the jam is still hot, add chopped dark chocolate and mix until it is melted.

Storage:

It needs to be refrigerated.

Once the spread is cooled completely, transfer it to a clean jar and store it in the refrigerator for a week or two.

If you want to store it for longer, store in the freezer for 3 months.

Serving suggestions:

The options are endless.

It tastes so good on a warm toast and pancakes.

You can serve it with yogurt, cereal, ice cream, oatmeal, waffles and chia puddings.

It can also be served as a fruit dip.

Notes & Variations:

The quantity of sugar depends on the sweetness of the bananas. Make sure you are using the ripe ones.

Add ½ teaspoon of vanilla extract for a variation.

Walnuts, hazelnuts or almonds can also be added. Roast and grind the nuts before adding to the jam.

Step by step instructions:

Puree bananas in a blender or mash them with a fork until creamy or chunky.

Combine the pureed or mashed fruit, sugar and lemon juice in a pan and mix everything well.

Let it cook for about 10 minutes until the mixture thickens.

Switch off the heat and add cocoa powder.

Mix until well combined and let it cool completely.

Store in a clean airtight container and refrigerate for a couple of weeks.
