The dough
Bring a bowl of water to a roaring bowl. Set aside. Take a bowl and add in the chola maavu – sorghum flour and salt. I have used two cups of sorghum flour today. I begin by adding 1 cup of really hot water. Start mixing with a spoon. Once all the water is absorbed, Set aside for a minute.

Start kneading by hand. If the mixture is very hot use the back of a spoon to mix. Add more water while kneading if necessary. Knead to a smooth pliable dough.
