Soak the rice in water enof to cover the rice,preferably over night (about a centimeter more from the rice surface).then check if grains softened and break by gentle squize.then discard the water without disczrding the rice.if water left abit while pouring out,can leave it in for the bkending process! also add in the ilichi pods seeds (black seeds are best condition alhamdulillah)

Prep the yeast.quater cup warm not boiling water,2 tablespoon suger,and pack of yeast.while you wait for the yest to froth...you will see it like in the pic

Add the rice,the suger and a cup of water.blend by blitzing bit by bit...then see consistancy.then add the coconut powder and half cup water.blend again(here i did not add water at that point and also the rice did not smoothen to slallest pieces as needed.this is very important step to ensure soft and fluffy vitumbua

As in pic this was consistancy obtained which wzs still larger pieces of rice grains

Cover let rise abt half hour see pic on progression (upper layer)

Using the special kitumbua pan which has the hollow rounds,place it on the electric or gas cooker(flat syrface works best or one that the pan will fit well to avoid accidents.

Put about half a table spoon of oil in each hollow,and heat thru.Then pour in each hollows some of the mixture rice,filling about third way up.and cook until the bubles appear and oil comes to top edges(see pic)then can turn over ising edges of spoon..sometimes the kitumbua sticks so just more scrapeing of edges
