Instructions
To Make Pidi:
Take 1 cup rice flour. Add required salt.
Then, add warm water little by little and mix nicely.
Knead the rice flour until you get a smooth consistency. Dough is ready.
Take a plate and apply some oil on it to avoid sticking. Apply some oil on your hand also. Take some dough in your hand and using your fingers make small balls.
To Cook Pidi:
Boil 6 cups thin coconut milk. Add the rice balls slowly into it. Do not stir immediately. Let it cook for 4-5 minutes. You can also steam cook the pidi for 20-25 minutes. (If you have steam cooked the rice balls, then mix 2 tbsp rice flour into little water and pour it into the payasam.) Keep the pidi mixture aside.
To Melt The Jaggery:
Add 4 pieces jaggery to a pan.
Add 1/2 cup water. Boil it. Let it melt.
Strain jaggery.
Add it to the cooked pidi mixture.
Cook Chana Dhal:
Cook the soaked chana dal with 1 cup of water and required salt in a pressure cooker. Cook for 2 whistles and add to the prepared pidi mixture.
