Method:

1. Dry roast the dals along with red chillies till golden brown.Cool down and grind it a semi fine powder.Set aside.
   
2. In a mixing bowl add rice flour, salt and mix well.Boil water and add it little by little.
   
3. Mix with a laddle, once it forms together and is a bit warm to handle then use your hands to knead it a soft dough.Do all this off the stove.Now roll small balls using your palms.Slightly grese your hands with oil if it sticks.
   
4. Make small balls with the entire dough and carefully place them in a steamer.You can use idli steamer too.Steam it for atleast 8-10mins.Do not oversteam, else the kozhukattais will become hard.
   
5. In a pan heat oil – add mustard seeds,jeera and curry leaves let it splutter then add the spice powder along with steamed kozhukattais.
   
6. Give a quick toss, add coconut and mix well.Switch off .
   

Serve hot / warm!

My Notes:

• Make sure to steam it for the exact timing else the kozhukattais will become hard.When thekozhukattais turns shiny and nonsticky, you can check the doneness.
• Make small small balls.
• I used store bought rice flour, brand name is Nirapara.
