Ingredients

Rice starch water 3-4 cups,

Rice flour (Puttu podi) 2 cup, ( if 3 cups starch water it takes 12 minutes and if 4 cups starch water it takes 18 minutes to get cooked) So also puttu podi gives a coarse texture which I prefer. You can go for fine rice flour if you prefer a smoothie texture)

Turmeric powder 1/2 tsp.,

Salt to taste,

Coconut oil 1 tbsp.,

Chopped ginger, 1 tbsp.,

Garlic cloves 5, finely chopped,

Green chilli 5, chopped,

Shallots 5, finely chopped,

Curry leaf 2 sprigs, chopped,

Chopped Cilantro  1 tbsp.

Preparation 

Add the ingredients except cilantro  in a nonstick wok, combine well. Put on medium flame and cook it while stirring continuously. When it starts thickening add cilantro, stir well. When the mix gets separated from the sides of the wok, turn off the flame. With the bottom of a moist small steel bowl flatten the surface. Allow to cool for two hours. Upside down it on a plate. Cut into your desirable size and shape. Serve with pride. No one should recognise the main ingredient in the dish.

Great way to improvise rice starch water into a delicious delight.
