Neer Urundai
Neer Urundai is a traditional South Indian dish made from rice grits or rice flour. It's a savory steamed dumpling typically seasoned with spices. South Indian tiffin recipes are a popular snack or tiffin item in Tamil cuisine.
Alternatives for fine rice grits
You can use rice flour instead but in that case, reduce water accordingly. Also, the consistency might vary. You can also grind idli rava with water instead version
oil for Pidi Kozhukattai
I prefer using peanut oil, but you can use any oil of your choice
Can I add vegetables?
Traditionally, vegetables are not used, but you can add them for homestyle neer urunda
Should I roll uppu urunda immediately?
No, wait till it comes warm enough to roll, then grease the oil and roll
Serving suggestion
Neer urundai with rice tastes good on its own, but you can also serve it with chutney
reheating suggestion
urundai might turn dry if you microwave it. Steam again for the best soft urundai. If you are microwaving, place a cup with a little water and heat it with urunda bowl
