Undrallu or Kudumulu or Modak is a special dish for Ganesh Chaturthi. Learn how to make Undrallu with white rice rava and brown rice rava. I wanted to show 2 methods of cooking also. So I made undrallu with white rice rava in electric rice cooker and with brown rice rava on stove top. Brown rice rava is healthier than white rice. I am presenting both. But the choice is yours.
