Ingredients
- Rice Powder - 500 gram
- Milk - one litre
- Cardamom - Powder made from 10 pieces
- Sugar - 350 gram
- Pinch of Salt
Process
Take a shallow pan with nearly two cups of water on a stove. Add pinch of salt to it and let it boil. As the water boils add the rice powder to it slowly and steer constantly. (just keep 4 or 5 spoon of the rice powder aside which we will require later). Go on adding the rice powder slowly and steer so that the rice powder slowly forms a nice elastic dough. After it forms a dough take it out of the stove and let it cool. If the dough is not elastic enough then add a little water and make a good elastic dough by hands. Then make small rounded or oval like shapes from the dough.
Take the remaining 4 or 5 spoon of rice powder in a small bowl and add little water and make a watery bater from it. Keep it ready.
Take a pan on the stove then add nearly one cup of water to it. As the water boils add the above small shapes(made from rice dough) to it. Then after 2 or 3 minutes add milk to it. As the milk boils add sugar. Let it boil for about 5 minutes. Add the above watery bater to it. Let it cook for nearly 3 minutes then add cardamom powder and take it out of the stove. Let it slightly cool. It can be served both hot and cold. Children like it cold.
