Bellam Kudumulu - Vinayaka Chaviti

Hi Friends

This is another prasadam that is made for Lord Vinayaka as prasadam on the Vinayaka Chaviti day along with Undrallu. This is a sweet made out of rice flour and bellam (jaggery). These are called Bellam Kudumulu or Teepi Kudumulu. I made it with a little variation this time with the same set of ingredients that we make purnam kudumulu. This is a wonderful recipe and will not go wrong for novice cooks.

Ingredients

Rice Flour                      1 cup

Jaggery                           1 cup

Water                              1 cup

Cardamom powder         1/2 tbsp

Ghee                                1 tbsp

Chopped coconut pieces  few for taste

How I made it

1. Take a wide pan and add water and let it boil. 
2. Add Jaggery to it and let it melt (if you think the jaggery needs to be strained, strain it at this point)
3. Let the jaggery boil for couple of minutes. 
4. Add rice flour, cardamom powder, coconut pieces to it and mix well.
5. Once it is properly mixed, transfer it into a wide plate and knead for a minute adding little ghee.
6. Make them into balls or flatten them a bit to make them like disks.
7. Steam them for 7-8 minutes in a steamer/cooker.

Bellam kudumulu are ready for the offering.
