Mix together first four ingredients.
In separate bowl, mix the rice flour with about ¾
cups of water to form a dough. When the dough is formed, coat your hand with
extra flour to prevent sticking, and take a ping-pong sized ball of dough and
flatten. Place about a marble-sized amount of the coconut mixture in the middle
of the dough. Close the dough around the coconut to form a ball. Roll in hand until
well formed. Repeat the above until all of the rice flour dough is used. Steam
the dumplings for 10 minutes. Delicious for breakfast or with afternoon tea. It
is a specialty of Kerala, and in Malayalam it is called "kazhikutta."
