Sunni undalu

 Mom is visiting us and we have an abundance of sweets to eat. But my favourite has always been sunnundalu, made with urad dal.This is a simple but delicious recipe.

 For these you will need

 Urad dal (Blackgram) - 1 Cup
 Powdered Sugar - 1 Cup
 Elaichi (Cardamom) powder - a pinch
 Ghee (Clarified butter) - 1/2 cup


Dry roast the urad dal in a heated pan until the lentils turn a coppery color and a beautiful fragrance emanates. Keep aside to cool. Powder the lentils and mix the powdered sugar and elaichi powder to this.

If you want the sweet to be crunchy make a rough powder, if you like the sweet to melt in your mouth, make a fine powder.

Now heat the ghee until it melts. Pour the hot ghee into the powdered mixture and make round balls. Melt in your mouth, delicious Sunni undalu are ready to eat.
