Chocolate Pori Urundai Ingredients
- Jaggery – I used it to make the syrup in this recipe. It gives natural sweetness and helps in binding the porridge. You can reduce the quantity slightly as per taste.
- Water – I have added the syrup to give it the right consistency. Add only the required amount.
- puffed rice – I have used pori as the main ingredient. This gives the urundai a light and crispy texture. Use fresh pori so that it remains crisp.
- cocoa powder – I just added chocolate for flavor, color and mild chocolate flavor. You can mix well to avoid lumps.
- Choco Chips – I used it in syrup. It melts a little and gives small chocolates. You can also replace it with cooking chocolate.
- vanilla essence – I added to taste. It enhances the taste of chocolate. If not available you can skip.

Expert Tips
- Jaggery syrup – I usually cook the jaggery till the right consistency. If the syrup is not ready then the balls will not be able to keep their shape.
- Mixing cocoa – I mix cocoa powder well in the syrup so that lumps do not form. It also gives chocolate flavor.
- Pure freshness – I use fresh puffed rice for the best crunch. If it is soft then its texture will not be good.
- shaping – Before shaping, I grease my hands with ghee. When the mixture is hot, it helps in rolling the balls easily.
- cooking flame – While cooking the syrup, I keep the flame low. Jaggery can burn due to high flame.
