    Variations

    • I used readymade idiyappam flour, you can use homemade flour too.
    • In addition you can add coconut bits in the dough for extra crunch.
    • You can replace idiyappam flour with ragi flour or any millet flour too.

    Storing and Serving Suggestions

    • Light up the lamps, keep this special karthigai kozhukattai for neiveidhyam. Cool down completely then you can serve it as such.
    • I wouldnt suggest to store this, make it fresh and finish it off within a day.
