Step:
Drain water from soaked rice and grind the rice dry you will get rice flour(fresh) or you can use rice flour too. Divide the rice flour in two part. mix spinach/palak puree in one part and salt knead it like roti dough same way knead another part of rice flour with the help of hot water. Your both dough is ready(as shown in pics)
Drain the water from soaked dal and grind dal along with green chillies, ginger, salt, cumin seeds,red chilli powder,garam masala and hing to make a coarse paste. Now mix chopped Dhania Your stuffing ready.
Grease a steamer vessel with oil.Grease your hands with oil and take lemon size portions of the rice dough and using your hand shape them into balls. Work when the rice dough is still warm for better result. Keep the rice dough covered with a damp cloth or a lid to keep it moist while you are making balls.Take one ball at a time and shape the balls to make like puri and spoon the dal stuffing on half of puri and fold like shown in picture or like gujiya. You can also use gujiya mould to shape it
Repeat the same for the entire dough(Palak dough too). Place the pitthas in the greased steamer and steam them for 8-10 minutes. You can also cook the pittha by dunking them in boiling hot water. Cook till they rise up to the surface, drain and ready to serve.
Your delicious, HEALTHY SPINICH STEEMED PITTHA is ready to serve hot.You can serve with your choice of chutneys and vegetables. I served with pumpkin sabzi and home made green chutney and imli chutney.
