Instructions: To begin making the Sweet Rice Dumplings recipe, we will first prepare the stuffing.Add coconut, jaggery powder, peanut and cook it for 5 minutes. Add cinnamon powder, black pepper powder to it and mix it properly. Cool the mixture well and keep it aside.Now we will make the dumplings. Boil 2 cups of water in a heavy bottomed pan. Take 2 tablespoon water in a bowl, add 1 teaspoon rice powder to it and make a thick solution.Add this solution to boiling water. Let the water come to boiling point. Then add salt, remaining rice flour at once and stir it continuously at medium flame for 3-4 minutes. Switch off the flame and cover the pan with a lid. Let it sit for 10 minutes. Once cooled, start kneading the mixture to form a dough. It should be soft.Make small balls like chapati ball. Take a ball and press with your finger tip at centre and make a hole into it to pour the filling. Stuff the balls with prepared coconut mixture. Close it properly with wet fingers and give shape as you like. Cook those balls in a steamer for 15 minute. Cool it and enjoy them as it is.Serve Sweet Rice Dumplings as a side dish along with Vegetarian Thukpa for a light weekday meal.
