Kozhukattai recipe

I do not have much of a sweet tooth. But kozhukattai is one of my favorites which I learnt from my grandmother when I was in 5th Std. So you can imagine how simple this is to make. Also, called as modak, this is a very popular dish during ganesh chaturti. Kozhukattais are easy to make and very low on calories as it uses zero amount of oil. So lets get started with it.

All you need is,
Rice flour – 2 cups
Jaggery (powdered) – 2 cups
Coconut (grated) – 2 cups
Cardamom powder - teaspoon.
Salt - just a pinch

Heat 2 cups of water with a pinch of salt added to it. Using this water to make a dough out of the rice flour along with the cardamon powder. The dough should have the consistency of the roti dough.
Next mix the grated coconut and jaggery.
Take a ball of the dough, say the size of a lemon. Using your thumb, press the ball in the center so that we can fill in the coconut-jaggery mixture to it.
Fill the cocnut-jaggery mixture in the depression created in the dough and seal it back. Do the same with the entire dough and steam it in the cooker for 5 min.
Enjoy piping hot kozhukattais.
