PROCESS:

Making Rice Ravva:
Wash the rice and dry on a cotton towel for few hrs.
Once the rice is dry in a grinder grind/grate/pulse
till it turns into ravva (like crakled wheat ravva for upma).
This preparation is to be done ahead of making kudumulu.
If not possible can make with rice flour too.But they turn
out like very smooth balls .

Take a non-stick pan(to avoid sticking to bottom) add oil and once its warm, add cumin.
Once they start to splutter add moong daal and fry for 2-3 min and now add water and
salt just little bit for taste.
As the water comes to boil add ravva mix well and simmer it for 5-10min on very low flame.
Keep stirring for every 2min and check the ravva .
Check if the ravva is cooked well .It will just look like dry upma when done.
     

(At this time can add fresh grated coconut-1/4cup and mix well)
Turn off gas, keep aside ,allow it to cool little down for 5-10min.
When its warm enough wet your hands and make medium size balls by pressing in your palm with fingers.
Repeat with all the mixture.
Now it needs to be steam cooked  for 5-8min.

Can use idly cooker or steamer basket in electric cooker and steam cook for 5-8min.
After they are done, allow them cool down for few minutes.
Now Kudumulu Naivedyam is ready to offer to Lord Ganesha.
While serving as tiffin/breakfast can be served with coconut chutney or avakayi(pickle)
Happy Cooking...!
