Ingredients
- 2 cups Rice flour
- 2 cups Water
- ½ tsp Salt
- 1 tsp Oil - 1 tsp + for greasing.
Instructions
- Boil the water in deep bottomed vessel by adding 1 tsp of oil and the salt.
- Once the water starts boiling, add the rice flour slowly and keep mixing it.
- Mix the flour well, cover it with a lid and reduce the heat to low.
- Turn it off in couple of minutes and let it sit for 5 minutes.
- While the flour is warm, grease your hand with oil, and knead the dough nicely.
- Make big balls/dumplings from the dough and make sure these dumplings fit in your presser. I made four big dumplings.
- Now in an idly cooker or in any steamer, steam these dumplings for 15 minutes.
- Let it cool for 5 minutes meanwhile grease the insides of the presser, mold with oil.
- Add the dumplings and start pressing them.
- That’s it. You can serve this with sugar and coconut milk or prepare any flavored Sevai.
Notes
- Start kneading the dough when it is warm. If not it becomes really hard. If required, add few tbsps of water while kneading. (I didn't add any)
- The size of the dumpling is depending upon the size of the presser you have.
