In a separate bowl, mix rice flour (Kuldachi Peeth) with water to form a smooth batter. Ensure there are no lumps.
Heat a little oil in a pan on medium heat. Add finely chopped garlic and green chilies. Sauté until the garlic turns golden and aromatic.
Add finely chopped onions to the pan and sauté until they turn translucent.
Add a pinch of turmeric powder and salt to taste. Stir well to combine the flavors.
Gradually pour the rice flour batter into the pan with the sautéed mixture, stirring continuously to avoid lumps.
Lower the heat and let the mixture cook until it thickens to a porridge-like consistency. Stir occasionally to prevent sticking.
