Add grated coconut, coriander leaves and remove from heat. Once it cools, mix well and make medium sized balls out of it. Do not give too much pressure when making balls as the balls will not absorb the kuzhambu if you do so. You will get around 11-12 balls for 1/2 cup of tur dal.

Steam the balls in idly pan or steamer for 10 minutes. Our paruppu urundai is ready.
