Hi Friends,Today is the Birthday of Lord Krishna..Especillay many dishes are made with Butter for the Lord Krishna.So I made the "Venna Vundalu" and Offered it as the Naivedyam for today's Festival;and my  kid Neelesh (Naughty''Krishna") enjoyed the Tasty balls.This "Venna Vundalu" is a traditional sweet item for this auspicious day.

Method:
  • Take a bowl or Large vessel and mix Maida with Rice flour ,Butter and cooking soda .
  • Add Warm water or Milk and make a  soft dough.
  • Cover the dough with a wet cloth and keep it aside for 1hour.
  • After 1 hour remove the cloth and make small balls out of this dough and leave them in a.plate.

  • Now heat oil in a deep frying pan and drop the balls in to the oil and fry in a low flame till they turn in to nice  light brown in color.
  • Remove the fried balls and let it cool completely.
  • Now in a heavy botom pan ,take sugar and water.
  • Take water enough amount just enough to soak the sugar.
  • Let it boil till sugar dissolves into water.
  • Make a thick sugar syrup of 3 thread consistency .So to test the sugar syrup ,place a drop on the plate .The drop should be as it is i.e.; It should not spread.
  • When Syrup reaches this stage add all the fried balls and Cardamon powder and stir it continuously with a Spatula.
  • Mix well to coat the sugar syrup to all the fried balls.
  • Turn off the flame.
  • Remove the balls and spread them on a plate (Otherwise the balls will stick together).
