Today's recipe is Undrallu which we offer as naivedyam to Lord Ganesh on Vinayaka Chavithi. And also offered as naivedyam to ganesha on Sankashti chaturthi. This recipe is prepared in Andhra and in other regions of India, and also called with different names. From my childhood Vinayaka Chavithi is my favorite festival 🙏 . As we go out to visit different Ganapathi status, decorated with flowers, fruits, vegetables. Yes, I did not forgot to mention about prasadam's 😉. Different varieties of prasadam's, song's full day and night etc.., it gives immense happy.
Okay I am stopping 😀, coming to recipe I learned this recipe from my family friend Devi Vadina @khurdha, Orissa. All the Vinayaka Chavithi special recipes I am going to post are learned from her 😍. We can prepare 2 varieties of Undrallu - sweet and savory(salted). Today I am posting savory(salted) undrallu. We use rice rava to prepare this undrallu, we can also use store bought rice rava or we can prepare rice flour at home. The main thing to remember is measurements and time to get perfect undrallu. Hope this post is useful to prepare naivedyam to Ganesha..

● Steaming undrallu/rice rava balls for long time will makes undrallu hard while eating.
