Kozhukkattai
Ingredients:
-
Rice flour 1 cup
-
Water 1 1/4 cup
-
a pinch of salt
-
1 tsp oil
Method:
Boil the water adding the salt and the oil. Add the rice flour and stir
it until it forms a lump. Cooking the rice flour should take only 2 mts.
As soon as it is done, cover it for about 10 mts. Knead it well until its
very smooth. Make little cups and stuff it with the stuffing you have prepared
and steam it for about 10 mts.
Stuffing:
There are many varieties of stuffing. The most popular is sweet coconut
stuffing. 2 cups fresh coconut grated, 1/2 cup jaggery powder, one pinch
of cardomom powder. Put all these ingredients in a heavy bottomed kadai
with 2 table spoon of water and keep on stirring for about 10 mts or until
the moisture dries. It should not be too dry either. Make small balls about
the size of a cherry. This can be prepared a day or two ahead and stored
in the refregirator.
