Gund Pongal/Gunta Pongalu is a telugu word.Gunta/Gund means round shape so the name is Gund Pongal.
This is a popular breakfast in South India.In TamilNadu they will call it as Paniyaram.
You need to have a separate pan, Paniyaram Pan (as they call it in stores) for preparing this.

Soak all the dals with rice in a bowl for about 5-6 hours and grind it to batter like dosa batter.

Idlies and Dosas are the popular South Indian Breakfasts.Everybody loves to eat Idly/Dosa with a cup of coffee in the morning.
For making idly batter ingredients :
Urad Dal – 11/4 cup
Idly Rice – 4 cup ( I prefer food world Idly Rice)
fenugreek seeds/menthe – 2 tbsp
salt
Idly Stand/Idly Cooker

Soak the Urad Dal and Idly Rice separately for about 3-4 hours.Grind the urad dal very nicely.Grind rice and fenugreek seeds together.Mix everything after grinding and add salt as per your taste.The batter should be little thick and not too much watery.Keep the batter aside for 8 hours to ferment.
Grease the idli moulds with oil.Put the batter on each mould ( as shown in the picture) and allow it to boil in a cooker for around 20 minutes.Hot and soft idlies are ready for serving.

For Dosa
Urad Dal-1 cup
Idly/Dosa – 3 cup (Usually I pick foodworld idly rice)
fenugreek seeds/menthe – 2 tbsp
salt

Dosa batter need not be as smooth as Idly Batter.Grind all and add sallt.Keep the batter aside for 8 hours to ferment.Grease the tawa with little oil and put doasa in a circular manner as shown in the picture.
You can also make small thick dosas called Uttapam/ a big dosa called as Roast.Enjoy eating:)
