Ingredients

1 Cup Whole Wheat Flour
¾ Cup Jaggery
5-6 Tablespoons Grated Dry Coconut
2 Teaspoons Ghee
½ Teaspoon Cardamom Powder

Instructions

Start the process by dry roasting wheat flour on a medium-low flame until aromatic. Remove it from the flame and set aside.
Combine the roasted wheat flour, grated coconut, ghee and cardamom powder in a mixing bowl and set aside.
Add powdered jaggery and a little water to a vessel. The amount of water should be just enough to soak the jaggery. Gently heat until the jaggery dissolves completely.
Strain the melted jaggery to get rid of any impurities.
Add the melted jaggery to the wheat flour mixture and make a soft dough. Sprinkle a little more water if it feels dry. Knead it to make a soft and smooth dough.
Grease your hands with oil or ghee and divide the dough into 9-10 round balls. Flatten each ball into a small round disc.
Arrange the shaped kudumulu on a greased idli plate or steamer. Steam on high heat for 10-12 minutes or until they are cooked and firm to touch.
Remove from the steamer, let them cool down for a few minutes and serve warm.

Notes

The dough needs to be soft and pliable. If it is stiff, kudumulu won't be soft.
Shape the dough discs evenly, so they cook evenly.
