First, take a mixing bowl and add the rice flour.

Add salt to taste. Mix the dry ingredients really well.

Now, heat water in a boiling pot and let it boil.

When it comes to a boil, turn off the flame.

Next, add splashes of the hot water into the rice flour and start kneading.

Knead and continue adding water until a soft and smooth rice flour dough is formed.

After this, cover the dough ball with a damp cloth and let it rest for about 30 minutes.

In the meantime, take a pan or a kadhai.

Add the gur or jaggery and let it heat.

When it starts to bubble, add the grated coconut into the gur.

Stir and mix everything together. Keep the flame on medium.

Continue stirring until the gur and coconut mixture becomes tight and comes together easily.

To this, add the cardamom powder. Incorporate them nicely again.

When it is done, transfer the mixture into a bowl and let it cool.

Now, make small-sized dough balls.

Take a dough ball and with the help of the fingers make a bowl-shaped structure.

Scoop some of the gur coconut filling and stuff it in.

Bring the ends together and close the dough tightly. Make it into a nice design using the palm and fingers.

Do this with all the rice dough balls. Cover and keep the side.

Now, take a steamer or an Idli maker.

Grease the base properly and then place the pithes.

Do this in batches.

Steam the pithes for about 10 minutes or until cooked well.

When done, transfer them into a casserole to keep them warm.
