Nuvvula Undrallu / Sesame seeds Undrallu

Nuvvula Undrallu or sesame Undrallu is another version of the undrallu payasam. In this recipe, we use sesame seeds and poppy seeds which gives milk an interesting flavour and an unique taste. This nuvvula undrallu
is made specially made on the festive occasion of Ganesh Chathurthi as Lord Vinayaka loves undrallu.

This sesame undrallu is very tasty and healthy. Sesame seeds are a rich source of calcium and therefore are a very good for our bones. Though the sesame seeds are heat generating foods, they are good if consumed in limited quantities.

You can also view other variations of undrallu namely paala undrallu and pappu undrallu. I wish all my viewers a very happy and lovely Vinayaka Chavithi. Have a great time with your family and friends.

Preparation

The preparation of the sesame undrallu is same as that of the milk undrallu except for a small difference. So after preparing the paala undrallu, I have kept a portion of it aside. With the remaining portion I have prepared the nuvvula undrallu.

Dry roast the sesame seeds in a pan.

After 2 minutes, add the poppy seeds and fry them together. Keep stirring continuously so that they don’t get over roasted.

Fry until the sesame seeds become golden in colour and becomes crispy.  Switch off the flame and allow it to cool completely. When it is completely cool, put the seeds in a blender and make a powder.

Do not run the mixie for a long time. If you run the mixie for a long time to make a powder of these seeds, then the sesame seeds will release oil which will not taste good when mixed with milk. Add this powder to the milk rice flour mixture.

Mix well and cook for 2-3 minutes. Switch off the flame and Naivedhyam for Lord Vinayaka is ready to be served.
