Venna undalu is a traditional recipe in south Indian homes normally prepared during the Krishna Jayanthi festival. This recipe also makes a great evening snack item as it is very simple to make with very few ingredients.

Ingredients

1 cup all-purpose flour
1 Tbsp butter
¼ cup rice flour
A pinch baking soda
Salt to taste
Oil for deep frying

Instructions

Take a bowl, add all-purpose flour, rice flour, salt and baking soda and mix them well.
Add melted butter and water to make a soft dough and cover with wet cloth and leave aside for an hour.
Make small balls out of this dough and leave them in a plate.
Heat oil in a wide pan and put these balls in the oil slowly and fry on a low flame till they turn golden brown.
