In a bowl take Rice flour and add little salt.Knead the dough with Luke warm water with hands.As rice flour will be sticky.After kneading the dough apply 2tsp of oil on the dough and let it rest for some time.Roll a portion of dough into a from of Poori Or a round small Chapati , add 1 tsp of stuffing on one half side.And with the help of other side fold it like a pattis or gujiya.You can give any shape you want.Seal the edges properly by applying some water.

2)Boil them in water.In a minute or two these dumplings will come on surface. Take them out when done.
Both the ways it will be good.I tried in both this ways.And personally I liked steamed one more.
So put a steamer on gas with 1 Lt of water and close the lid.Once steam formed , use the steamer plate attachment to gently put rice dumplings in it.You can grease the steamer plate with little oil so that dumplings should not stick to the plate.Cover the lid and cook it for around 15-25 minutes.
Once done you can check with the knife or tooth pick.Let the dumplings cool down for sometime.After that cut them into small pieces.Some people like to eat at this point of time with chutney.But I prefer the tempering version.
