Handful of Sliced almonds
3 tablespoon Raisins

Method

* Wash and add sama rice to a pressure cooker.

* Pressure cook for 3 whistles. Let the pressure release naturally. After the pressure is released, carefully open the cooker.

* By now, there should be no water in rice. The cooked rice will be very sticky and gooey.

* Transfer the rice to a mixing bowl. Mix in gluten-free flour, salt, and red chili powder.

* Mix until well combined. Then work the mixture with your hands to bring the dough together. The dough should not feel sticky at all.

PROTIP- If the dough feels sticky, then add an extra teaspoon of flour at a time until the dough is no longer sticky and does not stick to your hands. Adjust the seasonings. Cover and set it aside.
