Sweet Stuffed Snack – Recipe in Simple Steps

Dissolve the salt in the boiling water. Add this water to the millet flour and mix well to make a dough without leaving any lumps.
Take a lemon sized dough,spread it on the back side of a banana leaf, use some oil on the leaf so that the flour is not sticking to it. (You can even use any non-sticky plate).

Steam it in an idli vessel or a steamer whichever is available.
