How to make rice flour dough : Heat water in a pan and add salt and oil. Bring it to boil and simmer the flames. Now add rice flour and stir continuously to avoid forming lumps. Once the flour collects together and is lump free, close the lid and cook for another 7-8 mins on low flame. Turn off the gas and transfer the flour mix to a clean dry bowl. Grease your hands with oil or ghee and gently knead the flour mix to form a soft and pliable dough. Cover with a damp cloth and keep aside.
