U for Uppu Urundai under regional cuisine for BM #32.
This was a last minute but a delightful find for me. I have never tried these cuties before and I made these for the kid's after school snack. They disappeared even before I could get proper pictures. I am sure I am going to make these often.
I thought they resembled Undrallu which we make for Ganesh Chavithi, but they tasted very different.
I intend adding some grated carrots and nuts the next time to make it nutrient rich. Adding some spice to perk it up is not a bad idea either. But since I was serving these to kids I didn't add any spice.

Ingredients -
*Idli Rava 1/2 cup
Water to soak 1 1/2 cups
Salt as needed
Seasoning (Oil 1 Tbsp, Chana Dal 1 tsp, Urad Dal 1 tsp, Jeera 1/2 tsp, Mustard seeds 1/2 tsp, Asafoetida couple pinches)

Method Of Preparation -
Soak Idli rava in 1 1/2 cups of water for about 1-2 hours.
In a heated pan, add oil and the rest of the seasoning. After the mustard seeds pop and the dals are brown, add the soaked idli rava .
Mix well and let it cook for about 5 minutes.
Remove from fire and let it cool for a few minutes.
When it is cool to touch, pinch equal portions of the cooked mixture and roll into a ball.
