Heat a pan and then add rice flour to it. Stir for about 5 minutes. Then take it out in a bowl and add plain flour to it. Now add hot water to it and knead it well to make well mashed dough.

3

Make small balls from the dough, then spread each of the balls with your hand and stuff the already made coconut mixture into it. Fold it carefully and seal the edges so that the filling doesn’t spill in order to give perfect shape to the 'Puli'.
