Wheat Sweet Undrallu Recipe – Vinayaka Chavithi Naivedyam

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

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.
