POORNAM BOORELU / Boorelu is one of the main sweet which is offered to God in any pooja performed . Though it is a bit difficult to make them it is worth it as the result would be great.
INGREDIENTS
Urad dal - 3 cups
Chana dal - 3 cups
Jaggery - 3 cups
Rice - 1 cup
Cardamom - 6 nos
Oil - for frying
PREPARATION
Soak urad dal and rice together the previous night if we were to prepare them today . Early the next day morning grind it into fine batter addding water and add little salt and set a side. Parallely in a cooker cook chana dal with water . Once it is cooked strain away extra water . Cool it . Take a pan and transfer the chanadal and add powdered jaggery to it along with cardamom powder and keep mixing it till it comes closer as a thick mass.Allow it to cool once you confirm the jaggery is completly mixed with the dal and is seen as a thick mass. Now make small balls with the jaggery chana dal mix which we call poornam . Heat oil in a fry pan so as to deep fry the poornam dipped in the urad dal and rice batter . Now take one small ball of poornam approximately of the size of a small lemon and dip it in the batter . Note that the batter is hard enough to adhere to the poornam . If it is watery the poornam will come out of the batter and spoil the oil . For the proportions mentioned here poornam adheres to batter so keep a close note of it . Carefully leave the poornam properly dipped in the batter into the hot oil. Fry till the balls are well fried into red colour . Poornam boorelu now all set to be served as offering . Generally a small hole is made in the center of the pooram boore and little melted ghee is poured in it which makes it more delicious…
