Sunnundalu (Urad dal Ladoo)
Sunnundalu are very easy to make, the only thing to remember is that the fried lentil has to be pulsed to a very fine sand like powder.
Ingredients:
1 cup urad dal (without skin)
3/4th cup white sugar or mix of white and brown sugar
1/2 cup melted ghee (clarified butter)
2 pinches cardamom powder
Procedure:
1. Heat a large non-stick wok and the urad dal to it. Dry roast the dal on medium heat for 25-30 mins or till it starts turning reddish in color. Add the cardamom powder.
2. Remove from heat and pulse the roasted urad dal in a grinder to a powder of fine sand-like consistency. Add the sugar and pulse again.
3. Remove to a large vessel and add the calrified butter/ghee just enough so that you can make press balls out of the mixture.
4. Let cool and store in air-tight containers. Keeps good for a few weeks.
