Jowar dumplings( jonna kudumulu)

Today I am going to post Jowar (jonna) dumplings(kudumulu).Normally these dumplings made with rice flour.I substitute rice flour with jowar flour.
My mom use to make Jowar roti but for me that is tough so I am simply substituting jowar flour into easy recipes. Since Jowar is a gluten-free,high-protein,cholesterol-free and containing nutrients like fiber,iron,phosphorus and thiamine.Believe me this recipe is very easy and very tasty , kids also love to eat(my son just 20 months old liked it very much). This one is best food for diabetic patients also.
