For the rice balls

Take 200 ml of water in a sauce pan, add 1 tbsp salt and keep on gas to boil.
Out of 400 gms of rice flour,keep 50 gms aside for further use in payas.
From the rest amount of 350 gms,take 100 gm flour in a bowl, add salt to taste and make a fine barter with cold water.
Add this barter very slowly to the boiling water and stir constantly to avoid lumps.
Then slowly add the remaining amount of flour to the mixture and stir continuously until it becomes a soft dough and remove from heat.
When the dough becomes cool,make small balls of it by sprinkling little water on palms.
