#flours Manda Pitha is a traditional Pitha of Odisha. This is a delicious delicacy where stuffed rice flour dumplings are steam cooked. I have added my own twist by giving it cinnamon-ginger flavour.

Steps

15 minutes

1

Heat a pan and add all the ingredients mentioned in "For Stuffing" section (except ghee). On a low flame, stir until the ingredients mix properly and the coconut is little fried.
2

The stuffing should be sticky such that if you compress, it should stick together. Once it’s done, add ghee and give a quick mix. Remove it from the flame and keep aside.
3

For the dough, mix all the ingredients as mentioned in "For The Dumpling Dough" section together and knead a smooth dough.
4

Cut small balls from the dough. With the help of your fingers, press the balls to make bowl shapes.
5

Now, stuff them with coconut stuffing and seal the edges to make stuffed round dumplings.
6

Boil water in the steamer. Once the water starts boiling, lower the flame.
7

In a greased steamer pan, place the dumplings and cover the lid. Steam the dumplings for 15 minutes.
8

After 15 minutes, check if the dumplings are properly cooked. Check the dumplings and if they are sticky, it’s not done. In that case, steam for another 5-6 minutes.
9

Check again by touching the dumplings. If your finger comes clean, the Pitha is done.
