Seke undlaka or ammini kozhukattai recipe explained with step by step pictures and a quick video. Seke undlaka is nothing but steamed sweet dumplings prepared using rice, jaggery and coconut. This is a very easy and tasty recipe for seke undlaka or ammini kozhukattai. Seke undlaka is also called by name undrallu or undilge.
This recipe is very popular in other states by name ammini kozhukattai. But in my family it is an age-old recipe and we call it by name seke undlaka. Seke translates to steam and undlaka translates to small dumplings in Kannada language. The authentic seke undlaka recipe is prepared by soaking and grinding the rice. But I prepare it using rice flour. I have two more similar sweet dumpling recipes on this website namely, kayi kadubu and eeradye or (sweet dumplings in turmeric leaves) recipes.
Seke undlaka is a very tasty recipe and is my personal favorite. Everyone in my family loves this. Small balls coated with coconut-jaggery is the real treat for your taste buds. So do not forget to try this recipe.

Preparation time: 20 min
Cooking time: 20 min
Serves: 4
Ingredients: (measuring cup used = 240ml)
- 1 cup rice flour
- 1.5 - 2 cup water (depends on rice flour quality)
- 1 cup grated coconut
- 1/2 cup powdered jaggery
- 2 tsp ghee
- 1 - 2 cardamom
- 1 tsp salt (or as per your taste)
Instructions for making seke undlaka:
- Boil 1.5 cup of water in a wide pan along with 1/2 tsp ghee and salt.
- Wait until water comes to rolling boil.
- When it starts boiling, add 1 cup of rice flour. Mix well using a flat spatula for 10 seconds and switch off the stove.
- Add in required water and prepare a soft dough. Cover and set it aside. Use spatula to prepare the dough as it will be very hot.
- Wait until the dough is warm. Grease your fingers with ghee and make small marble sized balls. And arrange them on greased idli plate.
- Place the idli plates in a steamer and steam cook it for 10 - 12 minutes. Just like how you cook idlis.
- Once the undlaka or kozhukattai is steam cooked switch off the stove.
- Now meantime let us prepare coconut-jaggery mixture. For that first dry grind the grated coconut, cardamom seeds and jaggery using a mixer grinder.
- Then transfer the ground coconut and jaggery into a frying pan and stir until excess water is dried. Stirring for 5 minutes under medium flame should be alright. Do not make it too dry because after cooling it will become hard. Switch off the stove.
- Next add in steamed rice balls into the pan, which has coconut and jaggery.
- Toss well and serve with ghee.
