pala undrallu tastes like the paala thalikalu and is a good substitute to making thalikalu as there are no chances of these breaking up like the thalikalu. If you prefer to use jaggery syrup, make sure to cool it completely before adding to the payasam else it can curdle. To prepare the jaggery syrup, just add little water to grated jaggery , melt it and filter to remove the impurities. Let it boil till it thickens. Set aside to cool and then proceed to prepare the payasam. To make these pala undrallu I have used store bought flour, if you are particular about making the flour at home, you can make it one day ahead. Soak the rice overnight otherwise the balls may turn hard. Drain and dry rice thoroughly. Powder it in the mixer and sieve it. Collect the fine flour and use for making this dish. Some use coconut or nut paste to thicken the payasam, but that doesn’t yield a smooth and creamy payasam, so we use rice flour to thicken which gives the taste of traditional payasam and it is also very creamy and smooth.

How to Make Pala Undrallu

  1. Add 1 1/4 cup water and oil to a pot and bring it to a boil. Set aside 1/4 cup.
  2. Add the rice flour and stir.
  3. The dough will be crumbly. Cover and set aside for 5 minutes. If the flour is too dry, use up some water as needed that was set aside.
  4. Knead it to a smooth dough.
  5. Take small portions of the dough. Grease your fingers and shape to balls.
  6. Steam them in cooker or steamer for 5 minutes. If the balls are not steamed they may remain hard in the payasam.
  7. Bring milk to a boil, add sagubiyyam.
  8. When they are cooked fully and transparent, add sugar and stir. If using jaggery instead of sugar, melt jaggery in water in a different pot. Filter it and cook until thickened. Set aside to cool. do not add it now.
