    About Sweet Ammini Kozhukattai 

    Ammini Kozhukattai also called as mani kozhukattai or mini kozhukattai or ammani kolukattai,is usually made with the leftover dough which we have when we make kozhukattai .I have made the salt version of ammini kozhukattai earlier so wanted to try a sweet version.Its my own idea of making ammini kozhukattai with jaggery,coconut and sesame seeds as coating for the sweet version and it turned out super yummy that hubby loved it so much.

    This is my first trial and I am super happy and proud about the outcome :)The first recipe I wanted to try for this Ganesh Chaturthi 2014 was this cute little ammini kozhukattais and the new serving bowl added on to my temptation that I clicked it the very next day I bought this leaf shaped bowl.

    Instructions

    • Measure and take rice flour, add a pinch of salt to it….Boil water once it bubbles up rigourously switch off.
    • Add boiled water 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.

    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 teaspoon 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.
