Uppu Urundai Recipe | How to make Goli Idli | (Uppu Urundai)

Hi friends, thank you friends for visiting my website and @EATeasyvegrecipes youtube channel. Today's recipe is goli idli. It is called uppu urundai in Tamil. Idli and goli idli both are not same. In idli recipe we have to add urad dal and boiled rice rava or idli rava as we call it in Andhra and Telangana. Whereas uppu urundai or goli idli takes only rice flour. It is another easy and quick breakfast recipe. But I enjoyed uppu urundai or goli idli as evening snack along with a hot cup of tea. These goli idlis can be served by itself as it does contain the spicy tempering. But serving with a spicy chutney or sambar would be the best combo meal.
