Poruvilanga Urundai ( also called Porivilangai urundai) is a healthy protein laddu. It is a traditional multigrain balls made with jaggery and mostly made in homes from southern part of India.We can make this urundai ( refers to round shape in Tamil language) in several combinations of multigrains and pulses of our choice.So it is not necessary to use some particular ingredient alone. Hence it is called poruvilangai urundai ( meaning can’t understand the ingredients). Generally it used to be very hard and often needed a hammer to break or keep it in the mouth for a long time to make it soften.It is for this reason people hesitate to try this recipe. However my mother and grand mother used to make it often during my childhood days. In my recipe I am using ghee as the softener and in the process i could make a tastier and soft poruvilangai urundai. This is recommended for people of all ages and is protein rich.
