kozhukattai
This is a very easy and tasty evening snack which my mom will prepare in the evenings. Since it is a steamed item, is safe for calorie conscious people and small children. My mom will call this as Atti Kindi Kozhukattai. very Ingredients
Par boiled rice (idly rice) - 1 ½ cup
Red chillie-6
Curry leaf
Urudh dhal-1teaspoon
Mustard seed-1 teaspoon
Bengal gram-1 teaspoon
Oil-2 table spoons
Grated coconut-2 tablespoons
Procedure
Soak the rice for 1 hour. Put it in the mixie with the salt needed and grind for 2 minutes.
Add 1 cup of water to the grinded batter.
Keep the kadai in the stove. pour the oil ,when it gets heated add the mustard seed and allow it to crack then add the urudh dhal, curry leaf and Bengal gram .When the dhal gets roasted add the grated cocunut stir for a minute, then pour the batter into the kadai and go on stirring. Switch off the stove when it becomes thick to the consistency that you can make balls out of it. Allow the batter to cool for 2 or 3 minutes. Then make kozhukattai’s of the desired shape .Steam the kozhukattai’s in the idly pot for 5 minutes. This kozhukattai can be eaten without any side dish. But if you can find time then you can prepare Tomato chutney or coconut chutney. It will taste yummy in that combination.

Hi Solai,

Hello Achi, I tried out Kozhukattai today and it came out very well.. Thanks a ton for sharing this recipe with us.
Hello Achi,
I tried your Kozhukattai recipe taste was awesome but it took long time to get cooked and was hard too... could you please tell me what might be the reason.
janani,hardness is due to over cooking.It will certainly be cooked in 8 to 10 minutes first time and in lesser time subsequently.
Hi Solai,
Do we grind the red chillies along with the rice? I had tried this once without red chillies and it was still yummy.Thanks!
Janani,Dont grind the chilies.Add it while seasoning.This is my all time favourite item.
Hello aunty,
We tried this recipe,it turned out great,very tasty,soft and goes well with coconut chutney,traditional way of cooking is unbeatable even to this day in terms of taste and softness of certain dishes,thank you,skl
