Ingredients

• 1/2 cup rice flour
• 2 tbsp coconut
• 1 tsp ghee
• 1 tbsp sesame seeds + extra for sprinkling on top
• a tiny pinch cardamom powder

For jaggery syrup:

• 1/2 cup jaggery
• 1/3 cup water

Instructions

• Measure and take rice flour, add a pinch of salt to it….Boil water once it bubbles up rigourously switch off. Add it little by little to the rice flour and keep stirring.Mix it with a laddle till it gathers to a smooth dough.
• Allow it to cool for 2-3 mins and once you are able to bear the heat of the dough, knead it to a smooth dough.Then slightly grease your hands with oil and shape them into small balls.Keep the dough covered to avoid it from drying.Make small balls till the entire dough gets over.
• Grease your steamer plate or idli plate with oil and arrange the balls and Steam it for 7-10mins or until the kozhukattais are cooked.Meanwhile dry roast coconut for 2mins set aside, then dry roast sesame seeds till slightly golden,set aside.
• Melt jaggery syrup in water, strain to remove impurities.Heat up the jaggery syrup in medium flame.
• Once the syrup turns sticky more like honey consistency add the jaggery balls give a quick mix then add roasted coconut and sesame seeds, add cardamom powder cook for 2mins until the mixture forms a sticky coating.Finally add a tsp of ghee and Switch off.
• Serve hot / warm.While serving sprinkle more sesame seeds and enjoy!

Notes

• I used readymade idiyappam flour, Nirapara brand. You can even use homemade rice flour.
• Add 1/3 cup jaggery if you less sweetness.
• The water quantity depends on the rice flour quality so adjust accordingly.
  Add hot water to jaggery so that it dissolves quickly.
• Dont let the rice flour mixture dry, keep covered and shape the kozhukattais.I just made 1/2 cup so the shaping was done in few minutes but while doing in bulk make sure you keep it covered with a slightly wet cloth.
• Dont steam for more time , it will make the kozhukattais rubbery and hard.Also dont cook for more time in jaggery syrup, just toss and let the syrup coat the kozhukattais that’s enough.
• You can even add a tsp of ghee and roast cashews and raisins and add it.
• Adding sesame seeds give a nutty crunch while eating which I loved it so don’t skip it.
