Ammini Kolukattai / Undrallu / Rice balls sundal

Sundal Sundal every where!!! Its Navarathri and feels like it only when you eat loads of sundal everyday!! Varieties of it, with legumes and so on :) 

My treat for god this time was Ammini Kolukattai also called as undrallu in telugu. I love this sundal a lot because its different, soft and yummy. 

This dough is just the same as Kolukattai dough. Mom used to do this when there is excess dough when she makes kolukattai and I just love eating it plain :) Atleast one or two cups that way!! Now have grown up to like some spice in everything hence made this sundal!! :)

Ingredients:

Rice flour - 1 cup
Water - 1 1/4 cups
Green Chilly - 3

Ginger - 1/2 inch piece
Coconut - 1 tbsp
Mustard - 1/2 tsp
Asafoetida(perungayam) - a pinch
Salt - for taste
Lemon extract - 1 tsp
Curry leaves
Coriander leaves

Method:
Boil 1 1/4 cups of water adding a little salt to it. When it boils, simmer the flame and add the rice flour stirring it constantly. See to it that it does not form lumps. Now switch off the flame and leave the vessel closed for around ten min. Then sprinkle some water and a tsp of oil over it and kneed the dough to make it smooth.

Roll it into small balls and place them on a well greased plate and pressure cook it for 15 min.
These white rice balls alone can be the best snack for kids.

Now grind coconut, green chillies, ginger, asafoetida and salt together.

Take a pan and add 2 spoons of oil to it and crackle the mustard. Add the curry leaves, cooked bean and the ground paste to it and fry for a while. Now add the white rice flour balls to it and saute for two min. Finally add lemon extract and coriander leaves to it and saute well.
Ammini kolukattai is ready to serve. :)
