To begin making Rice Flour Manda Pitha Recipe, boil water and milk together with cardamom powder and salt.
Add rice flour and corn flour to it - part by part, while continuously stirring it to avoid lumps.
Keep stirring it in low heat until all water is absorbed and it forms into a ball.
Turn off the gas and cover the dough.
In the meantime prepare the sweet filling by heating up 2 tablespoon ghee in a Pan.
Add the coconut, paneer, and sugar and mix it well.
Cook this in low heat for 7 to 8 minutes.
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.
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.
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.
Serve Manda Pitha along with Poori and Aloo Methi Masala Recipe or Vatana Usal Recipe for festive breakfast.
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.
