| 1 cup | Grated coconut |
| 5 clove | Cardamom (powdered) |
| 2 cup | Water |

| 1 cup | Hot water |
Instructions
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 with the 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.

Priya,
Great dish for Tamil New Year. My mom does this often. Feel like home after seeing your recipe.
Thanks ABhi…felt the same too
Hi
Nice receipe, I will use milk instead of coconut milk and also I will cook the balls in the milk itself, then you can get thick gravy.

Hi Amudha…
Yeah can do very well with milk..but coconut milk will give a very tasty flavour for this recipe..
