Instruction for rice dough
Firstly, prepare a dough of rice flour to begin making Chawal ka Pitha.
Heat 1 1/4 cup water in any utensil. Take out 1/4 cup water and keep aside. add 1 tbsp sugar and 2 tsp oil in 1 cup boiling water.
Then add the rice and wheat flour then mix it well. Cover the dough and keep it aside for 5 minutes so that it becomes soft.
Take out the flour in a bowl and knead till a soft dough similar to that of chapati is prepared. Cover the soft dough for 15-20 minutes allowing it to ferment.
Until the dough is set let us prepare the Stuffing.
Stuffing
Use two tablespoons of sugar and mix it with coconut powder and khowa. You can also vary the sugar level in case to change the taste.
Use 1 tablespoon of coconut powder that helps in digestion and makes the heart healthy.
Use dry fruits in pitha which is optional and is not compulsory for every user. But, in case you are using it will provide good flavour.
Take boiled water after preparing all the stuffing and keep uncooked pitha in steamed water for boiling water. Also, use boiled water depending on the utensil requirement to cook
Also, grease a steamer vessel with cooking oil for lubrication so it does not stick with vessel parts. Grease hands while handling small-size paste dough. Use your both hands to give a round or oval shape.
Fill the stuffing in between the expanded dough and press the corners of each prepared dough to give a round shape to vegetarian recipes.
While wrapping up the Pitha, make sure that it does not tear.
Leave these pitha into a vessel and wait till it prepares with the help of steamed water. Wait for 10 to 15 minutes.
When cooked, the clour of Pitha is different in comparison to what it was earlier and looks shiny. Now it is ready to serve anyone.
