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

Add rice flour gradually, stirring continuously to avoid lumps, and cover to 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
In a separate bowl, mix mashed potatoes, green peas, ginger-green chili paste, turmeric, cumin seeds, chopped coriander, and salt for the filling.
5
Divide the rice dough into small lemon-sized balls, flatten them, place a spoonful of filling in the center, and fold them into half-moon shapes.
6
Steam the stuffed dumplings in a steamer for about 12 to 15 minutes until fully cooked.
7
Heat oil in a pan, add mustard seeds, curry leaves, and dry red chilies, allowing them to crackle.

Toss the steamed dumplings gently in the tempering for a minute and serve warm.
