Bansh

Bansh is a traditional steamed dumpling from Assam, India. It is made with rice flour and filled with a savory mixture of vegetables and spices.

Ingredients - Serves 4

In a large mixing bowl, combine the rice flour and water to make a smooth batter.
In a separate bowl, mix together the chopped cabbage, grated carrots, green peas, chopped onion, grated ginger, chopped green chili, cilantro, and salt.
Heat oil in a pan and sauté the vegetable mixture for 5 minutes, or until the vegetables are slightly cooked.
Add the sautéed vegetables to the rice flour batter and mix well.
Grease a steamer plate or idli molds with oil.
Pour spoonfuls of the batter into the greased molds, filling them about 3/4th full.
Steam the bansh for 15-20 minutes, or until cooked through.
Remove from the steamer and let them cool slightly before serving.
Serve the bansh hot with your favorite chutney or sauce.
