I guess i can add ghee when I make it for the lil one...and maybe karumbu sakkarai instead of caster sugar...

I've heard ppl make roti out of this flour... I tried once and it was a flop...;)

Dear Dev, thanks for your nice post.
You see, we need people like you who can fusion recipes, with a single recipe.
Dev, the relative made the urundai with milk. I am sure it will not last more than a day.
Your idea is good, just melt little ghee and you can make nice urundais, that will keep longer.
Also as you say karumbu sakkarai, will be better.

Dev, why don't you add little atta flour to the saththu maavu and try making roti.
Thanks and take care, Kugan

ELLU URUNDAI

Ingredients:
2 cups ellu ( I used the white ones)
1 1/4 cups vellam (more if you like )
1/2 tsp cardamom powder
little water
little rice flour or ghee

Method:

Clean and wash the ellu, dry it well.
Lightly dry roast the ellu.
Heat a wok with little water, add in the grated vellam.
cook till it becomes thick. It should form a stiff ball
when dropped in water.
add the roasted ellu and the cardamom powder at once.
mix well and remove from the stove.
make balls from it while it is still warm.
use a little ghee or rice flour so that it does not
stick to your hands.
This is a very healthy sweet.

ELLU URUNDAI 2


ELLU URUNDAI

Ingredients:

1 cup white ellu (sesame seeds )
½ cup grated vellam
A pinch of salt
A pinch of cardamom powder

Method:

Dry roast the ellu till it crackles. Do not burn this.
Let it cool, run this in a mixture.
Add in the grated vellam, pinch of salt and the cardamom powder.
Then run the mixie again, till all mix well.

Transfer the contents into a bowl.
Shape them into small round balls.
There will be little oil when you grind the ellu seeds.
This will help in shaping the balls. Enjoy.

NOTE: you can use black ellu instead of white ellu.
You can add in grated roasted coconut before grinding in the mixie.

Thanks Selviem, for your post.
Selviem in those days ellu urundai was done in the second method only.
