Cabbage chopped finely: 1/2 a cabbage of medium size
Water to make a very thick batter
Preparation
Soak Idli rava with water just covering the top level of rava in the container for 15 minutes.
Grind Coconut, Red Chillies, Turmeric to a very fine paste with very little water.
Add hing, and the soaked Idli rava (which would have by now absorbed most of the water) and grind it with the coconut paste with very little water to form a very thick batter.
Add salt, and chopped cabbage and mix well. Grease the idli plates or vessel that is used inside a steamer.
Make small round balls (size of table tennis ball), and keep them on the greased plates.
Steam them in a steamer until the steam is free flowing at high fire and then lower the fire to minimum and steam for 30 minutes until a toothpick inserted in the dumplings come out clean.
Smear some coconut oil/gingelly oil on the dumplings.
Serve it with coconut chutney or as is as a snack, dinner, or for breakfast.
