Notes
We can use any rice flour to make them.
I get the rice flour from a flour mill, but we can use store bought also.
Take water and rice flour in equal ratio. Then only we can easily make the balls.
Steam them in high flame for 10 minutes and then for 5 minutes in low flame.
While adding goli idli with tadka use spatula to combine them. Otherwise they may break.
