Then add in rice flour and mix well. It will get thick and the rice flour gets cooked.

Now ad din cardamom and dry ginger and mix well.

Now allow this to cool down. After that start forming kolukattai shape using your hands.The print of your fingers should form in the kolukattai like you see in the picture.
