Notes

  1. Instead of Channa Dal Toor dal combo can make Urundai with all Channa Dal/ toor Dal combo
  2. Adjust the water according to the consistency you prefer the Kuzhambu
  3. sauting Dal mixture is optional but that gives a nice texture to the Kuzhambu
    Cook Kuzhambu in a wide pan so that while boiling the Urundai is well immersed in Kuzhambu 
  4. Make the ball without giving much pressure else the Kuzhambu won’t get absorbed in the balls
