Kozhukattai dough recipe, Kozhukattai maavu recipe – using store bought idiyappam flour.We used to make homemade rice flour and then use it for making kozhukattai / idiyappam.But now we get readymade flours available that you get it easily everywhere.I usually make homemade rice flour but sometimes I use store bought rice flour(idiayppam flour) too and it has never let me down mostly while making idiyappam and kozhukattai.

I usually follow the first method , but the water measure cannot be given accurately you need to pour little by little and keep mixing to form the dough.But for the second method I have given the measures.Either ways you can make perfect kozhukattai’s.

Notes

If you are buying store bought rice flour make sure to buy idiyappam flour.I use nirapara brand.
Do not make a stiff dough it will break while shaping.At the same time the dough should not be too loose too.It should be soft and slightly sticky thats the perfect consistency.
If you have added little more water by mistake roast some flour and sprinkle and knead it.
