special coconut masala paste.This recipe is my family's heirloom recipe and is my personal favourite. I will be honest with you that its a bit tricky to make this recipe as the urundai will be very soft to handle .So keep one important tip in mind that is DO NOT ADD WATER FOR GRINDING,if needed just sprinkle very little water and moreover first grind the coconut masala paste separately and then grind the cabbage and then mix them both.If you feel that the paste is watery add little rice flour to the mixture . If you follow these tips you can definitely make these urundai successfully 😁.Trust me friends this urundai will be absolutely delicious .It is a super accompaniment for sambar sadam,rasam sadam etc.Do try it and kindly give your feedbacks .Check out the recipe below.
