Rice Kolakata (Steamed Rice Balls)

So in a bowl mix the rice flour with some salt, and slowly pour the water, to form a workable dough - it should not be too runny nor too dry

Seal it and put it on the tray. You might find the sealing part a little trickey, but play around and for sure you will get this kolakatas fine

This is great for breakfast or as a snack. You might need to serve this with some sugar on the side, but it totally depends on the person's choice
