I recently found a new, awesome and easy way of whipping up rice dumpling which keeps me super excited for long, because I have had some disasters while preparing the same in a traditional way. Do you remember the rice dumpling recipe?? It involves some prior preparations like soaking rice, grinding and sauteing which is some times tricky and needs kind of mastery in the process. Having said the truth of that authentic dumpling, now I am fascinated to share this, new rice rava dumpling that equally tastes good like its counterpart but damn easy in making. There is no chance that you’ll get wrong with this. I bet.
A secret ingredient RICE RAVA makes the recipe simpler, easier and no more trickier. It’s so good that we find such genuine grocery that the recipe calls for in our regular, everyday STORE itself. You don’t have to search for this RICE RAVA in ‘N’ no. of stores. It’s available right there the store next to you. I am like you and I also find it too hard to run around for a specific grocery that I look for.
The RICE RAVA itself has the granular texture which when steamed like a rice ball, gets the exact look and feel of authentic dumpling. Rice rava dumpling is soft, easily break-able and basically non-sticky. Steaming assures this breakfast a super healthy one as no oil is incorporated.
