Ingredients

  • 1/2 cup Red matta rice
  • 1 cup Cashew nuts - unsalted
  • 1 cup Jaggery - powdered or brown sugar
  • 1 cup Dry coconut (kopra)

Instructions

1
To begin making the Andi Unda formula, bake the red matta rice in a wide cooking vessel without cooking oil.
2
The rice will become brittle and starts crackling.
3
Once you start hearing the sound of crackle, take it off the stove and let it cool on a flat plate.In the same wide cooking vessel, mix in the cashew-nuts and dehydrated bake them until they turn brown.
4
Take care not to scorch or black them.
5
Once roasted, spread them on a flat plate to cool down.In a mixer grinder, first, grind the rice to a fine dusting masala condiment.
6
Next grind the cashew-nuts.
7
Do not run the mixer continuously, it will result in cashew shortening, we don't need cashew paste, we need powdered cashews, so just pulse it 4-5 times.combine powdered cashews, powdered rice, powdered jaggery and coconut together.
8
Transfer the mixture to a mixer grinder and pulse them together 4-5 times to combine it well.
9
This will help to bind them easily into balls.Transfer the contents to a rinse dish, take fist pull of dusting masala condiment and start making balls by pressing it tightly in your palms, shaping them like laddus.
10
Keep the balls in a rinse flat plate.
11
Follow the same process with the remaining mixture.Andi Unda tastes best within 2-3 days.
12
If you are planning to store for more days, then keep them in an air-tight container in the refrigerator.
13
But then too, it is best to consume them within a week or 10 days.dish up them as a snack during hunger-pangs or even as a regular addition to your kids lunch box to improve their nutrient intake.
