2cups Rice flour
1cup Sugar
1cup Grated Coconut
5nos Cardamom pieces
2cup Water
Salt
1cup Hot water
Heat two cups of water in a nonstick pan r heavy bottomed pan..once the water is hot put the stove in simmer..add the rice flour n salt tohe hot water n stir it until they cook n turns as a soft dough..should be very alert coz this will happens within a short period n very fast.
Keep the dough apart. Take a small piece from the dough n make as tiny small balls like seedai, can do any shape as u wish. While making balls close the left dough with a lid else it will get dry, use a bit oil while making balls so that they wont stick in ur palm.
Cook this small tiny balls in pressure cooker for 8 minutes in Idli plates, cook them in batch.
Meanwhile grind grated coconut with 1/2 hot water,strain it n keep the milk apart, this is first thick coconut milk..grind again grounded coconut with another half cup of water n strain the milk, this is second coconut milk..
