Today's recipe is a traditional recipe (really ages old recipe) from Andhra cuisine. Aaviri Kudumu is the first Avatar of today's very popular Idli. You can make these Kudumulu immediately after grinding the batter, no need of fermenting the batter or no need of adding rice or Idli rava. Just soak the Urad dal and grind in to a smooth paste and make Kudumulu immediately. No Oil but with lots of protein and easy to digest. Before adopting the Idli recipe with rice from Tamilnadu. This is how we make our idlis.idlis are called as Kudumulu in old Telugu version. Not only idlis any steamed dumpling are called as Kudumulu in Telugu. This Aaviri kudumulu is also well known as Minapa Kudumulu. The texture of this Minapa kudumulu won't be like Idli. The are little hard so if you don't like them hard can add a tea sp of fruit salt (eno) to the batter and make Kudumulu.My husband don't like that hard texture so I have added eno to my Kudumulu batter. So let's check this Traditional and healthy recipe....
INGREDIENTS:--
Urad dal -- 1 cup
Salt to taste
Water ---- 150 ml
METHOD:--
1. Wash dal for few times in running water and soak dal in enough water for eight hours (over night).
2. Next day morning grind dal by adding little by little water in to a smooth paste, like how we grind for idli.
Means this batter should be smooth and fluffy.
You can use normal Idli plates for making this Kudumulu but here I made them in traditional way.
3. Heat one cup water in vessel.
Tie a clean white cloth on the mouth of the vessel. Tie the cloth really tight other wise the steam will escape and Kudumu will not cook.
4. Pour two ladle's of batter on the cloth, cover with a lid or plate which sit perfectly and tightly .
5. Cook for 5 minutes in a high flame the reduce the heat to low and cook for 8 minutes.
6. Open the lid and insert a toothpick if the toothpick comes out clean then your Aaviri kudumu is ready to serve.
Serve hot with Ghee and karappodi or karivepaku karam or ullipaya pachadi...
