For preparing the crunchy delicious snack, first soak the rice for 3 hrs and drain well.
Grind it to a fine powder.
Grind coarsely the grated coconut.
:- If using dessicated coconut, you can directly grind it. If using fresh coconut, which is tastier, first fry it in a pan, without oil, so that the water is evaporated. Water content should be nil.
Gently heat the rice powder in a pan or a kadai for about 4 mins.
When cooled, knead all the ingredients together and make small balls by rolling inside the palm gently.
Heat oil in a china dish and drop the balls one by one into hot boiling oil, Deep fry the balls to a light brown color on low fire. Do not overheat.
Drain and keep in airtight container when cool. Tasty snack is ready.
:- Do not use fresh coconut as such, without frying, because it may spurt when you drop in hot oil.
