Take a wide bowl add the rice flour,salt,chopped spring onions,green chillies and the cooked beans.Mix it well and slowly add the cooked beans water little by little and form a semi soft dough.Water must be slightly hot,do not add cold water.
Divide into small equal size balls,flatten the balls and shape it into a bowl ( see picture).
