Begin by taking a pan and adding 2 cups of water, 1/2 tsp of salt, and 2 tbsp of Bengal gram. Allow the water to come to a rolling boil.

Once the water is bubbling, add 1 cup of broken rice while gently stirring to prevent any lumps from forming. Continue to cook for 2-3 minutes over low heat.

Afterward, transfer the mixture onto a plate.

Our next step is steaming. First, spread a thin layer of ghee or oil on a plate.

Carefully place the prepared Kudumulu on the plate.

In a steamer or a pan, pour some water and insert the plate onto a stand. Seal the lid tightly and steam for a satisfying 10-12 minutes.
