Ellu Kozhukattai Recipe-Sesame Modak Recipe

Ellu Kozhukattai Recipe

Ellu Kozhakattai also known as Ellu Mothagam is similar to poorna kozhukattai with ellu(sesame filling).I love ellu urundai amma makes, soft and flavourful, you can even make that as stuffing for this kozhukattai.I tried this sesame modak for the first time and it turned out soo good.Even hubby who is not fond of sweet kozhakttai appreciated it.

Wishing all a very Happy Ganesh Chaturthi!!

Ellu Kozhukattai Recipe

My Notes:

  • Make a thick jaggery syrup so that it thickens faster after sesame is added.
  • Make sure to rinse sesame to get rid of dirt if its there.
  • For a easier version you can even add powdered jaggery as such along with sesame, cook for sometime and make the mothagam but I usually add jaggery syrup as amma always insists to make syrup out of jaggery to get rid of any mud properties usually found in jaggery.
  • Asjust sweetness according to your preference.Usually when you taste the stuffing, it should be slightly oversweet only then it will be perfect when its stuffed.
  • If you prepare the dough before hand, make sure to keep covered with a wet cloth to avoid drying up.
  • You can use white sesame too.
  • I used store bought rice flour, brand name is Nirapara.
