Uppu Urundai ~ Steamed Rice Dumplings

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.
