Instructions
- Take 1 cup raw rice heaped then level it well. Keep a plate under to collect the extras.
- Add 2 -3 tablespoon whole urad dal heaped on top to the same measuring cup(do not level it).
- Now take the measuring cup and add to a bowl. Do not use the rice and dal collected in the plate just add only from the measuring cup.

- Soak in water for 1 hour.
- Rinse it well, drain water and add to mixer jar. Add water little by little and grind it.
- Grind to a slightly coarse paste. The batter should be thick as after adding jaggery the batter may thin down.

Notes
- I used a small deep curved kadai to fry so fried only one at a time.
- If you want to make 3-4 kandarappams at a time then use a wide bottomed kadai.
- While grinding the soaked ingredients add very little water as after adding jaggery it will loosen the batter so add accordingly.If the batter is too loose then it may drink lots of oil.
