Now add chilies and soda bi carb (or papad khar if using).
Add rice flour and stir it continuously to avoid lumps.
Let it cook for 5 minutes.
Now transfer it into a plate.
Take oil in your palm and make balls out of it. ( in size you prefer)
Press it gently and make a hole in the middle of each ball with your finger.
Now cover all the balls in a soft- thin cotton cloth and steam them for 15-20 minutes on a low- medium heat.
Remove and serve hot.
Tips:
You can eat khichu with salt, chili powder mixed with oil.
Or you can eat with methi masala ( pickle masala)
You can also make roll shape, small modak shape, cube shape or any shape of your choice.
If you are in a hurry than you can also have it without steaming. Just stop from the dotted line and cook for 10minutes instead of 5minutes.
