Chalmidi is a simple delicious dough made of rice flour being the main ingredient. Making a good chalmidi isn’t very tough but taking it for granted yields no good stuff. Chalmidi can be served as one of naivedyam/prasadam to the Ganpati Bappa.

I believe my mum makes the best of the chalmidi since I haven’t tasted a better one ever. And so here I put the recipe to the so very tasty Chalmidi. You sure cant stop eating. I love it a bit in the liquidy consistency that leaves me licking on the fingers 😛 You sure can alter the dough consistency according to your taste.

Required Ingredients

• Rice flour: one cup
• Sugar powder: 1/2 cup
• Hot milk/water to make the dough
• Chopper coconut: 1/2 cup
