My Notes:

• I used readymade idiyappam flour, Nirapara brand. You can even use homemade rice flour.
• You can add a tiny pinch of salt while adding coconut.Adding salt enhances sweetness.
• The water quantity depends on the rice flour quality so adjust accordingly.
• Grease your hands with ghee or oil to avoid sticking of dough.Grease the steamer plate with ghee to avoid sticking.
• Don’t let the jaggery to form any syrup it should be watery only then rice flour will get cooked.
• After water boils, make sure you keep in sim then add rice flour in a sprinkle manner and on one side keep mixing.Stir continuosly. It will looks like lumps forming but do not panic keep mixing.Once warm knead well and the dough will be perfect.
• Don’t let the rice flour mixture dry, keep covered and shape the kozhukattais.I just made 1/2 cup so the shaping was done in few minutes but while doing in bulk make sure you keep it covered with a slightly wet cloth.
