jaggery

fresh coconut

🥗Healthier: desiccated coconut

Prepare the long grain rice by rinsing it and soaking it in water for a while (inferred).

Add a pinch of salt to the jaggery water and mix well (inferred).

Gradually add the soaked rice to the jaggery water, stirring continuously to avoid lumps (inferred).

Cook the mixture on low heat, stirring until it thickens and pulls away from the sides of the pot (inferred).

Remove from heat and let it cool slightly before kneading into a smooth dough (inferred).

Shape the dough into small balls or discs, as preferred (inferred).

Steam the shaped dough for about 10-15 minutes until cooked through (inferred).
