SAVOURY RICE DUMPLINGS.

This is a traditional recipe, my mother used to prepare when we were kids for breakfast often & used to pack it in our lunch box when we go to school & my friends use to relish this dish ,even now its a favorite of  mine & my sis & still prepare it umpteen times . I share my mom's best  recipe so that it will be preserved  in my blog😊😋

To make it faster & easier she used to flatten the dough into round shape steam it & when cool cut into cubes...

I re-created by giving it a marble size shape, it's time consuming but it looks awesome while serving😀
