Step-by-Step Instructions

1. 1.Grind Rice

   Add 2 cups of white rice to a blender and grind it into a coarse powder. Ensure it's not too fine.

2. 2.Wash Rice Powder

   Transfer the coarse rice powder to a pan. Pour water over it and wash it well, then drain the water completely.

3. 3.Combine Ingredients and Cook

   To the washed rice powder in the pan, add 1/2 cup of grated coconut, 2 cups of water, and 1 teaspoon of salt. Mix all ingredients well. Place the pan on medium heat and cook, stirring continuously, until the mixture thickens into a dough-like consistency and leaves the sides of the pan.

4. 4.Add Remaining Coconut and Mix

   Switch off the flame. Add the remaining 1/2 cup of grated coconut to the cooked rice dough. Mix it in thoroughly until well combined.

5. 5.Shape the Pundis

   While the dough is still warm, take small portions and roll them into smooth balls. Then, gently flatten each ball to form a disc-like shape, about 1.5 to 2 inches in diameter.

6. 6.Steam the Pundis

   Arrange the shaped pundis on a steamer plate, ensuring they are not overcrowded. Cover the steamer and cook for 20 minutes until they are soft and cooked through.

7. 7.Serve

   Switch off the flame. Carefully remove the steamed White Rice Pundis from the steamer. Serve them hot.
