– Decant the water and spread the rice on a piece of cloth.
– Allow it to drain all the water and grind it in the mixer to a fine powder.
– Sieve it to remove the unground granules.

– Flatten the ball and stuff it with the paneer-potato.
– Seam the ball.
– Steam the balls in an idli holder in a pressure cooker without the weight whistle for 10 minutes. (Spread a little oil on the idli plates to avoid sticking.)
