Instructions for Manda Pitha Recipe-Orissa Style Steamed Rice Flour Dumplings

    1

    To begin making Rice Flour Manda Pitha Recipe, boil water and milk together with cardamom powder and salt.

    2

    Add rice flour and corn flour to it - part by part, while continuously stirring it to avoid lumps.

    3

    Keep stirring it in low heat until all water is absorbed and it forms into a ball.

    4

    Turn off the gas and cover the dough.

    5

    In the meantime prepare the sweet filling by heating up 2 tablespoon ghee in a Pan.

    6

    Add the coconut, paneer, and sugar and mix it well.

    7

    Cook this in low heat for 7 to 8 minutes.

    8

    Now prepare the dough by applying a little oil on your palms and kneading the warm dough into a soft workable texture. Make sure that the dough is not very hot.

    9

    Now take a tennis ball sized dough, make a dent in the center and put 1 tablespoon of filling in it and close the opening. Smooth it all over to make it look like a ball. Make sure that there are no gaps.

    10

    You will get around 8 to 10 balls. Now we should steam the Manda Pitha. Heat water in a Steamer and steam the Rice Manda Pitha or dough balls for 10 minutes.

Editor's Notes:

Note: If you don't have ready made rice flour, soak rice for at least 2 hours and grind it to a very smooth batter by adding 2 cups of water.
