Ingredients

½ Cup Rice Rava
1.5 Cups Water
½ Cup Jaggery
3 Tablespoons Grated Fresh Coconut
1 Tablespoon Moong Dal
3 Cardamom Pods
1 Teaspoon Ghee

Instructions

Soak the moong dal in water for 15 minutes. Drain and set aside.
Crush the cardamom seeds and set aside.
Heat a teaspoon of ghee in a heavy bottomed pan. Add the drained moong dal and fry for a minute.
Then add water (1 and ½ cups) and powdered jaggery to it and mix well.
Let the jaggery dissolves completely.
After the jaggery melts, allow it to a rolling boil.
Once it comes to a boil, add the rice rava, coconut and cardamom powder. Combine well and close with a lid. Reduce the flame to low and let it cook completely. Stir occasionally.
Switch off the heat and leave it aside to cool.
Grease your hands with ghee and roll the mixture into round shape balls.
Arrange them in a greased idli plate and steam cook for 7 – 8 minutes.
Remove from the flame and allow it to cool. Serve!

Notes

Water ratio is very important to make perfect bellam undrallu every time. Always use 3 cups of water for every cup of rice rava.

Try to shape them into uniform sizes to ensure even cooking. This helps them cook evenly and prevents some from being undercooked or overcooked.

To prevent undrallu from breaking, avoid over-cooking and over-steaming and use the right amount of water to cook the rava. And tightly roll the cooked mixture into round balls before steaming.
