Things we need
Rice - 1 1/2 cups
Grated coconut - 1/2 cup
Oil - 2 1/2 spoon
Mustard seeds - 1 spoon
Red chillies - 6/7
Urad dal - 1 spoon
Channa dal- 1 spoon
Asafoetida
Water
Grind the rice coarsly.
In a kadai, take oil. Once it is hot, add the mustard Seeds, red chilli, channa dal, urad dal, asafoetida. When the lentils are golden brown, add 3 1/4 cups of water. then add the coconut. Allow it to boil, then add the rice rava (broken rice) & mix them well. They absorb water & become a little solid. It doesn't need to be cooked. This is how it would look (uncooked).
Then allow it cool & make small balls out of it. Take a pressure cooker and place them inside a vessel. It has to be steam cooked (without the weight) for 12 mins.
IT can be steam cooked using a electric rice cooker too.
Its done. Its very yummy with Katrikai Gotsu or Coconut chutney or idli sambar.
Kindly mention if this recipe requires raw or parboiled rice. And should the rice be soaked, drained and powdered coarsely or is it wet-grinding that is required? Thank you!
ReplyDeleteI use the Sona Masori rice for this. If you want to try with parboiled rice, I think It should work finr too. Just grind the raw rice coarsly. No need to soak
