Bellam Palathalikalu is sweet recipe prepared for vinayaka chavithi as naivedhyam. This is popular naivedyam recipe in Godavari district and in some areas of Andhra. Bellam palathalikalu is nothing but noodles prepared using rice flour, and is cooked in jaggery where rice flour is mixed with milk. We mix milk before serving.

Undrallu || Kudumulu || how to prepare Andhra style undrallu recipe for Vinayaka Chavithi naivedyam

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..

Note

◆ Instead of using homemade rice rava you can use store bought. Also you can use store bought rice flour. But undrallu prepared using homemade rice rava gives good taste.

◆ Chana dal must be soaked properly otherwise it will be hard will eating

◆ You can skip fresh coconut but adding coconut gives you divine taste.

◆ Adding hing gives good aroma to undrallu.

Tip

● If you are using old rice then increase the quantity of water. For example for 1 glass rice flour use 2 1/4 glass water.

● If using rice flour use 1 1/2 glass water for 1 glass of flour.

● Cover lid and keep it for 15 minutes after cooking rava/rice and dal. (Step-11).

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