2) Let it boil for 1 minute.
3) Now add in rice flour all at once. Mix well and switch off the stove. 
4) Close the lid and keep it aside.
5) Once it is warm, Knead it very well such that you get a soft, lump free dough.
6) Now take a small gooseberry sized dough and make a stick by rolling it in between the palms.
7) Now join the ends to make a ring.
8) Heat the oil in a wide frying pan. Drop the kodubale's or rings into the hot oil. Fry under medium flame.
