MINAPA SUNNUNDA RECIPE / SUNNI VUNDA- URAD DAL

Sunnunda is Andhra Pradesh famous laddu. It is very good healthy food for muscles and bones.

PREPARATION TIME: 30mins

SERVE: 3 or 4 members

INGREDIENTS:

Black split Urad dal-1 cup
Rice - 2 spoons

Sugar -1/2cup

Ghee-1/4cup

Cardamom/Elaichi cloves/-3

STEPS:

1. Dry roast Black split urad dal and Rice till it is about to turn golden brown.

2. Grind it to a fine powder and sieve (Jallada) it. Take the sieved fine powder in a mixing bowl.

3. Grind sugar and cardamom seeds together and add this powder to the urad dal fine powder.

4. Mix well and add ghee. Do not add all ghee at a time, first add half cup and mix well.

5. Try to make a laddu shape by taking hand full of batter in your hand and pressing it hard to make it into a round shape.  If you are able to get hard laddu, (that is it should not break if you pinch it slowly) then stop adding ghee and continue making laddus. If not add ghee and make laddus till you get the right consistency. The nice aroma of cardamom/ Elaichi when mixed with ghee and urad dal makes this laddu.

Please note the point:

For extra taste you can add roasted Badam pieces or Cashew Nut/ Kaaju/ Jeedi Pappu (Split).
