Peanut Kozhukattai / Verkadalai Kozhukattai Recipe

Peanut Kozhukattai Recipe


Peanut Kozhukattai is one of my recent tries as I wanted to try peanut stuffing.May readers and friends asked me alternate options to make beautifully shaped kozhukattais without mould,though this option works well for me, I tried shaping kozhukattai using cookie cutter which not only looked cute, it holded the stuffing intact.The stuffing was fully spread in the kozhukattai which was very tasty to eat.So here I am introducing shaping kozhukattais using cookie cutter as I haven’t seen this idea anywhere else 🙂

  9. Mix with a laddle,once it starts to come together,Set aside for few mins until it is warm enough to handle with hand.Now bring everything together to form a smooth dough without any cracks.

  10. Now the stuffing and the outer dough is ready.Take your cookie cutter dip in rice flour /oil and keep it ready.Pinch 2 lemon sized balls, take one and flatten it slightly thin now keep the stuffing.I have kept the cookie cutter just to show there should be enough gap between the filling and cutter, just for size refernce.Once you add the filling, keep the cookie cutter aside.

  11. Now take another ball,flatten it up as shown.Slightly spread the filling and seal with the dough.Now press it along the sides to seal it completely.

  12. Now using your cookie cutter cut it.Make sure you trim leaving some area which is sealed while you cut so that it doesn’t open up while steaming.Also while cutting make sure not to trim the stuffing area(this is why I used the cutter to measure the size in step 9)Now remove the extras and gently pull out.

  13. Likewise shape all the kozhukatais with stuffing.Arrange it in the steamer plate and steam it for 10mins or until the kozhukattais look shiny.

Serve hot / warm!

My Notes:

  • While cutting using the cutter make sure you don’t cut the area where there is stuffing then it will open out while removing.Make sure you trim leaving some area which is sealed while you cut so that it doesn’t open up.You will get the hang of it once you start making it.
  • You can use any cookie cutter of your choice but make sure not to use any complicated designs which has many nook and corners .
  • If you don’t have a cutter make just balls or modak shapes.You can even make semi circle shape like here.
  • Try a make a thin outer cover else it will take time to get cooked.
  • If you prepare the dough before hand, make sure to keep covered with a wet cloth to avoid drying up.
  • You can use either homemade rice flour / storebought.I used store bought rice flour, brand name is Nirapara.
