Am back after a loooong time!!! Left the blog so dormant!! Forgot the dates on which I tried these also!!!
But still remember what I did during the making of the sweets and how I did them :) So here I go!
I tried verkadalai urundai somewhere in the starting of this year. Made and took it to Vinod and his family (Another cousin of mine who lives in Bangalore)
An idea to make people happy with simple things :) Get to know their favourite food - things that are simple to make - make it urself and take it :) Its a Win-Win situation. U r happy and the reciepient is also very happy, and in turn u r extremely happy :) :)
And such a venture was Kadala urunda :) Vinod anna and his wife loved it :D
So here is recipe of the round version of kadala mittai :
Ingredients : (For 15 to 18 urundai)
Verkadali (Peanut/Groundnut) - Roasted and skinned - 2 cups
Pagu Vellam (Jaggery) - 1 cup
Water - 1/2 cup
Oil/Ghee - Little ( To apply on ur hands while making the balls)
Procedure :
- Boil the specified amount of Jaggery in water till it dissolves in it completely. Filter the same using a filter to remove dirt if any
- Allow it to boil again for a while till it loses its very watery consistency but before it reaches pagu padham
- Add the verkadalai and mix it well
- Apply oil or ghee on ur hand and start making balls when the mixture is bearably hot
- And ur Verkadalai Urundai is ready!!!
