Nuchinunde (Sweet Dal Dumplings)


Method

  1. Drain out all the water from the soaked dal and grind coarsely along with coconut, green chilies, jeera and curry leaves,
  2. DO NOT add any water while grinding and also, make sure NOT to grind the dal too smooth.
  3. Add hing, salt, chopped cilantro and mix well.
  4. You could even add 1/2 tsp sugar for a tinge of sweetness!
  5. Make ping pong sized dumplings with the dal mixture,
  6. Place in a steel container and steam cook the dumplings for about 12-15 minutes (I use the pressure cooker for this purpose, Don't forget to remove the weight!!)
  7. Serve hot with majjige huli or coconut chutney or any other side dish of your choice.
