Paal Kolukattai / Steamed Rice Balls in Milk

I love these delicacies. They are cute little balls of cooked rice powder soaked in milk. This is adapted from my mom's recipe book and it tastes delicious.


The Making

Of the rice balls:
Add salt to water and bring to boil.
Now add the rice powder as required. Keep on stirring as you add the reice powder. Add rice powder till you get a consistency where you can form balls with the mixture
After the mix cools down, knead the mixture and form small balls.
Place all the balls on idli plate and cook in idli steamer for 5 mins / or till done


In a wide bowl, add thick coconut milk, milk and water and bring to boil. Keep stirring or milk may curdle
Add the rice balls and bring to boil


Now add the thick coconut milk and jaggery water. Keep for 5 mins.
Add cardamom powder and turn off the flame.


Serve hot garnished with chopped pistachios. I garnished with chocolate chips to give it a twist. :)
