STEAMED GRAM FLOUR ROLLS IN RICE

Preparation Method :

For the gatta, mix the first 6 ingredients well; add the oil and rub with fingers until well incorporated. Add a little water and knead into a stiff dough.
Divide the dough into three equal portions. Make each portion into a ½ " thick x 4"-long roll.
Boil the gatta rolls in a large pan of water over high heat, uncovered, for 10 minutes. Remove, drain and cool. Cut each roll into ½ "-long pieces and deep-fry the gatta until light brown.
For the rice, heat the ghee in a pan; add the whole spices and saute until the cardamom changes colour.
Add the drained rice and stir to coat the grains with the ghee. Add turmeric powder, salt, and 3 cups water. Bring to the boil. Lower heat, cover and cook until the rice is half done.
Add the fried gatta and continue to cook until the rice is done.
Garnish with raisins and cashew nuts.
