Ingredients

For Dough
Rice flour - 1 cup
A pinch of Salt
Hot Water - 1 cup
Ghee

For Filling
A little Water
Jaggery - 1 cup
Grated fresh Coconut - 1 cup
A few Cardamom pods

Method:
1. To make the dough, add salt to rice flour and knead a dough with hot water.
2. For the filling: take a little water in a pot, and add jaggery to it and let it melt. After it melts, strain the jaggery syrup to remove impurities.
3. Add the coconut to the strained jaggery syrup. Pound some fresh cardamom and add it.
4. Cook it till all the moisture evaporates and it reaches a thick consistency. Let is cool.
5. Take a little dough and make a round ball by rolling it. Grease your palm, either with ghee or oil.
Flatten the dough, place some filling in the center and close it from all sides sealing it. It should look like a dumpling.
