Earlier I have given sweet kozhukattai recipe that uses fried gram (pottu kadalai) and jaggery. Now this recipe uses bengal gram (kadalai paruppu) instead of fried gram and give much better taste !
Preparation Time: 10 minutes
Cooking Time : 20 minutes
Serves: 10-12 no.s
INGREDIENTS:
Bengal gram / கடலை பருப்பு/ Channa dal - 1/4 cup
Jaggery - 1/2 cup
Dessicated or fresh grated coconut - 1/4 cup
Cardamom powder- 1/4 teaspoon
Rice flour - 1.5 cups
METHOD:
1. Soak bengal gram for 3 to 4 hours. Pressure cook them by adding water just to immerse it. Cook in high whistle and then in simmer mode for 10 minutes. Open the lid and remove excess water from the dal.
2. In another vessel, add jaggery and add water just enough to immerse it. Allow it to boil, till it dissolves. Then filter the impurities.
3. Meanwhile, take Rice flour. Add some salt and oil. Add hot water and mix gently and form a firm dough.
4. In a heavy bottomed pan, add the filtered jaggery syrup and allow it to boil. Once it starts to boil, it froths up and comes as shown in below picture.
5. Now add the cooked dal and coconut powder.
6. Mix the contents well without any lumps.
7. It takes some time for the dal to get thick.Keep stirring continuously. After some 5 to 6 minutes, the mixture thickens and comes together. Add elachi powder.
8 . Now, take lemon sized rice flour ball. Flatten a little with your hand.
9. Now take some filling and keep it inside.
10. Cover it on all sides.
11. Steam it for 9 to 10 minutes. Kozhukkattais are ready to serve !.
NOTES:
