Recipe
1
Boil two cups of water in a deep pan with salt, cumin seeds, and a teaspoon of oil.
2
Slowly add the rice flour while stirring continuously to avoid lumps, then cover and let it cook on low heat for 5 minutes.
3
Turn off the heat, let the dough cool slightly, and knead it into a smooth, pliable dough.
4
Shape small portions of the dough into cylindrical rolls or oblong shapes, similar to small logs.
5
Arrange the shaped rolls in a greased steamer and steam for about 15 to 18 minutes until fully cooked.
6
Heat mustard oil in a pan, add mustard seeds, curry leaves, green chilies, and sesame seeds, allowing them to splutter.
7
Add the steamed fara into the tempering and toss gently until they absorb the flavors and develop a light crust.
8
Serve hot immediately alongside warm tomato chutney.
