    To make kozhukkattai’s choppu

    Kozhukkatai. you can also do the

    We have to prepare the outer cover with rice flour. Some will

    prepare like chappati dough with wheat flour and they fill the

    filling ( poornam) and fry தே same. But in our house we used to make like this. This is the

    base thing we have to do first, before we prepare poornam. So

    here we go.

    To make kozhukkattai’s choppu. contd.,

    <style></style>For the outer cover

    Rice flour -3 cups

    salt a pinch
    Water 3 cups
    Oil or ghee - 1 table spoon

    Method:

    Bring the water to boil in a heavy bottomed pan.
    Add a pinch of salt.
    Reduce the flame to medium (or you can remove it from the fire) and add the oil and rice flour and stir well to get a smooth dough.
    Take off the flame and mix further to remove lumps thoroughly.
    Cover and allow it to cool.

    How to make kozhukkattai’s choppu.

    Make small balls out of the rice dough.

    Shape it into a cup with your fingers.


    Place 1 teaspoon of the prepared filling and cover to form a modhak shape - i.e bring all the end of the cup together. You will get a round ball with a cone on top.


    (while doing this keep the kozhukattai in your left palm and close your hand and collect the extra dough by your right fingers.)

    Make these modhaks or Kozhukkatais with any of the following fillings. Like coconut poornam, thil poornam, sweet channa poornam or udud poornam.

    Steam in a pressure cooker without weight for 3 - 5 minutes.


    (You can use an idli stand to steam Kozhukkatais.)

    Allow to cool for 10 minutes before removing from the cooker.

    Your kozhukatais are ready for neivedyam.

    Mani Kozhukattai

    To make this you need 'excess outer cover dough' and excess 'udad dalpoornam' that is all.

    Make small balls out of the dough like 'salt cheedai'

    Steam it like all other kozhukattai and keep aside.

    In a pan, make seasoning with mustard seeds and udad dall.

    you can also add curry leaves in that.

    now add the steamed rice balls in that and also add the 'udad dal poornam'

    Mix well and add a pinch of salt.

    Just keep it for 2 min. on the stove and remove.

    Your 'Mani kozhukattai' is ready.
