Phanna oondi is the konkani term for steamed dumpling with seasonings.This is one of my favorite dish that my mom prepares.It's usually made using idli rava.It can be prepared plain without the seasonings as well but the seasonings give a fantastic taste to it and thats what makes this special.To make it more colorful one can also add finely chopped vegetables like beans,carrot and peas.The best side dish to have with phanna oondi is tomato curry or tomato pickle.

Ones it starts to boil mix in the idli rava,close it and cook on a low flame for about 4-5 mins.It will become thick.At this point turn off the flame and let it cool.Ones it cool form round balls of it and steam it for about 5 mins.I used idli stand for steaming the dumplings.Serve hot with tomato curry or pickle.
