Neer urundai aka uppu urundai is my Mil’s traditional breakfast/dinner recipes. Its a Thanjavur special recipe. We usually prepare this neer urundai whenever Sendhil needs easy to digest dinner recipes. U can easily prepare neer urundai by reserving some rice batter while you make idli,dosa batter. You can either make sweet neer urundai or savory ones by adding pepper and cumin seeds powder like the one I did here. I have used idli rice / boiled rice in this recipe. You can also use ration rice. It comes out well.
In this recipe, we cook rice balls in water and we drink that water / kanji adding jaggery or salt. My mil says this kanji/porridge is very good for stomach. Its procedure is very similar to ammini kozhukattai but no need to roll it very small. Over to the recipe,

HOW TO MAKE NEER URUNDAI – METHOD
NOTE
If you feel, you have used excess water for grinding, cook the batter in a hot kadai and mix till all the excess water is absorbed and it turns like a thick dough OR roll the batter in a thick cotton towel, it will absorb excess water. Cooking the batter in a kadai helps to absorb water quickly and balls will also be much softer. This step is completely optional. We use it only for troubleshooting.
