I had to grind it in a blender with the egg mixture to dissolve it again. Please I read the comments about the crumbly nature of these, as it helps when removing them from the oven, they are really soft until they cool down a bit.

They are the best I am told. :-) I'd like to add a couple of comments. When I first started to make them each batch would yield different results, it's really a unique cookie recipe(to me).

I used a spoon. You want to mix all ingredients well but don't over mix it and only use high quality rice flour. Naan berenji has a crunchy texture. You can add a bit more oil if your mixture is too dry and let it rest for several hours.

At first I was extremely disappointed- the batter melted in my hands while forming the cookies, then they "melted" in the oven losing their perfect initial shape. Finally, some of them broke while transfering to the tray... Nevertheless, their taste is awesome!
