Undrallu - courtesy-my mom!

Hello people,

Today being Vinayaka Chaviti,I've decided to publish my first post (im a lil sentimental about these things :P). Ok,now coming to the first dish that I'm posting today,this is my mom's version of undrallu. There are a million ways to make this dish & every person has a different ingredient that they use,but in the end,all of them taste delicious...which is what we all want, don't we!! Now,the ingredients & the directions to make this amazingly simple,yet delicious dish are as follows............

Ingredients :

• Rice - (uncooked/raw) 1 cup
• Chana dal - 1/4 cup 
• Jeera - 1 tsp
• Salt to taste
• Water - 2 cups
• Oil - 2 tsp
• Ghee - 1 tsp

Directions:

• Give the rice a rough grind in the blender till each grain breaks into 2-3 pieces. Sieve the coarsely ground rice to remove any fine rice flour from it.
• Soak the chana dal for 30 mins in water.
• Take a vessel,heat the oil & add the jeera to it.
• Once the jeera splutters,pour 2 cups of water,salt to taste & bring it to a boil.
• Once the water is boiled,add the broken rice,channa dal and mix it well. Make sure no lumps appear. Let it boil for 1 minute
• After 1 minute,you will still have some water left in the rice,dont drain it....Put this vessel in a pressure cooker & let it cook.(3 whistles/10 minutes depending on the type of your pressure cooker).
• Once done,remove this vessel from the pressure cooker & place the contents in a big bowl.Let it cool for a few minutes,add ghee & roll them into dumplings.
• This dish can be served hot & cold and tastes best when served with coriander chutney.
