Boil two cups of water in a deep pan with salt and a teaspoon of mustard oil.

Gradually add the rice flour to the boiling water, stirring continuously to avoid lumps.

Cover the pan, turn off the heat, and let it steam for 5 minutes.

Knead the warm mixture into a smooth, pliable dough.
5
Shape small portions of the dough into cylindrical logs or crescent shapes resembling small sausages.

Arrange the shaped farra in a greased steamer and steam over medium heat for 15 minutes.

For the chutney, blend the tomatoes, dry red chilies, and garlic cloves into a smooth paste.
8
Heat the remaining mustard oil in a pan, add cumin seeds, and pour in the tomato paste.
9
Cook the chutney until the oil separates, then add jaggery and salt to balance the flavors.
