1. Chicken Kozhukatta
A delicious and wholesome non-vegetarian snack, Chicken Kozhukatta is perfect for satisfying your hunger after a long day.

Method:

1. Prepare a chicken kheema filling and set it aside.
2. Heat water in a pot, add salt, fennel seeds, and grated coconut.
3. Gradually add the hot water to Nesmee's Rice Powder, stirring until it forms a smooth dough.
4. Shape the dough into medium-sized balls and flatten them slightly with your palm (greasing your hands with a little oil helps).
5. Fill each flattened ball with the chicken mixture and roll it back into a ball.
6. Steam the balls in a steamer or idli cooker for 13-15 minutes.

2. Elayappam (Ela Ada)
A traditional Kerala sweet, Elayappam is made by steaming a mixture of coconut and sugar encased in a rice flour dough, all wrapped in banana leaves.

Method:

1. Lightly roast Nesmee's Rice Powder for about 5 minutes.
2. In a pan, bring water, ghee, and salt to a boil.
3. Pour the hot water over the rice powder and mix with a spoon.
4. Knead the dough into a smooth, non-sticky consistency by greasing your hands with ghee.
5. Warm banana leaves and spread a ball-sized portion of the dough onto the leaf.
6. Add the coconut and sugar filling, fold the leaf, and steam for 15 minutes or until cooked.

3. Vegetable Momos
Momos, or dumplings, are a beloved street food, especially in northern India. Made with rice flour and stuffed with veggies, they are a perfect evening treat.

Method:

5. Fold and seal the edges, then twist to close. Steam the momos until done.
