Sal Papdya / Rice Papdya

Time 60 min
Ingredients
Rice 3 cups
Cumin seeds 1 tsp
Sesame seeds 1 tsp
Salt to taste  (add more salt than expected because after drying salt will get evaporated)
Water 2 cups

Method
Soak rice for 24 hr. Then change water and again soak rice with fresh water, repeat the process untill 4 days. Drain water on 5th day and spread  rice on cloth, let it dry for 1 hr so that water will get evaporated. Then make powder in the grinder.
To the rice powder, add water, cumin seeds, sesame seeds, mix well. It looks like idli batter, but it should be little thiner than idli batter.
Keep one vessel on stove filled with 3/4 water. Allow it to boil. U need 3-4 flat plates which will fit with this vessel.
Take one tsp of batter in one flat plate, spread by shaking the plate so that batter will get spread evenly throughout the plate, now place this plate on vessel with boiling water, the water in the batter will immediately get evaporated in 1-2 min. Now immediately turn the plate upside down keep for 3-4 min. Then remove from stove, allow it to cool for 5 min. Then remove papdya from plate. To remove papdya u need to first lift it from outer side, then using both hands take out the papdya and place on plastic paper.  Dry the papdya in hot sunny condition for 3-4 days. Store in dry place in tight container.
