- Wash the rice 3 to 4 times. Heat a pan and dry fry the rice with stirring for 10-15 minutes or until they starts to pop up (looks some what like popcorn). Add cardamom to the rice and mix well.

- Now cook the papaya pulp on medium low heat until the water is evaporated and the pulp is reduced to half.
- Add the sugar. Mix and cook to make a thick sticky pulp. Remove from heat and let it cool.

- Make them into small balls. The ladoo (truffles) is ready. Enjoy.
Notes
The quantity of red rice depends on the water content in the cooked papaya. If the water content is less you need less rice flour and vice versa. You can make the flour in large quantities and store for later.
