I have used Homemade Rice flour, while making the flour at home, you can grind it a little coarse for making these Undrallu or Kudumulu.

If using store-bought rice flour, then dry roast on a hot pan for few minutes until it turns aromatic. Transfer and let it cool down.

Wash and soak the chana dal for 20 minutes. If you want the chana dal to soak quickly, you can soak in hot water for 10 minutes.

Take a saucepan with water, bring to a boil.

Add the drained chana dal, cumin seeds, salt and let it cook for few minutes on low flame.

Slowly add the rice flour and quickly stir to prevent lumps from forming. Simmer the flame to low and continue stirring.

If you want, you can cover the pan with a lid to prevent splashing if it happens.

Cook until the rice flour is completely mixed and water is all absorbed.

Remove and add ghee/oil and knead well. This will get the dough to become very soft and easy to use. Take care not to burn your palm though. Always keep it covered with a wet muslin cloth to prevent the dough from drying up.

While you are making the balls, you can have the steamer ready. Take enough water to steam the balls, and let the water start to boil.

To make the balls, you can either dip your fingers in water or oil.

Take small portions of the mixture, roll well between your palms to get even balls. Place them on the plate.

Continue with the rest of the dough until you complete.

Cover the idli steamer and cook for 8 to 10 minutes on high.

Once done, allow it to stand for 5 minutes before you can remove it.
