Rice flour dumplings, also known as rice flour gnocchi or rice flour dumpling noodles, are delightful and versatile little bites made from rice flour. These dumplings can be used in soups, stews, or as a side dish.
This is an authentic Kerala dish that can be enjoyed for breakfast or as an evening snack. These dumplings are steamed and cooked, making them a delicious yet healthy recipe with minimal ingredients. Since this dish is oil-free, it qualifies as a healthy snack. They can be consumed either as a sweet or spicy dish based on your preference.
I love having them as a sweet dish, so I serve them with honey or pazham pani. However, they also pair wonderfully with chicken curry or any other curries.
