Dumplings - Pulibongaralu
Here is my version of healthier option with less oil but without any reduce in taste.
Equipment
- Dumpling / Aapam pan
- Mixing bowl
Ingredients
- 2 cups Thick Dosa batter (sour batter is better)
- 2 big sized Onions cut into small cubes
- 2 Tbsp Chana dal Soaked for 1 hour
- 1 Tbsp Red chilli powder or Green chillies
- ¼ Tsp Turmeric Powder
- 2 Stem Curry leaves finely chopped
- ¼ Tsp Cooking soda
Instructions
- Mix all the ingredients (except oil) with the batter in a mixing bowl. The batter will be look colorful.
- Heat the pan and add little oil into each hole.
- After oil is properly heated carefully pour batter (using a tablespoon) to fill the hole about ¾. Do not fill up the hole completely with the batter as the dumpling swill rise as they cook.
- Let them cook for 3-4 minutes in medium flame on one side.
- Carefully flip them with chopstick/spoons end. Cook for another 2-3 mins. Once they are cooked properly they will turn in to a nice golden brown color.
- Remove the dumplings from the pan and let them drain on a paper napkin. This will keep it healthier and remove the excess oil if any.
- Serve these dumplings with chutney/karam powder for additional taste!
