    About Sweet Pidi Kozhukattai Recipe

    Pidi means ‘to hold’ in Tamil, we usually keep the kozhukattai dough in our palm, close and press it to give an impression as you can seeso this is why it is called as pidi kozhukattai. I usually prefer the sweet kozhukattai than the savory version.Trust me, this is very easy to make without any fuss. You can even make this as a snack for kids.If you have homemade processed rice flour then that’s good else try out with readymade idiyappam flour and it works good too.

    • I used readymade idiyappam flour, Nirapara brand. You can even use homemade rice flour.

    • 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.

        If the water quantity is correct then the kozhukattai would be perfect….I think you must have missed in that?!

      Hi Sharmi, prepared this sweet kozhukattai today for Krishna Jayanthi. Taste was too good. Perfect sweetness. But, kozhukattais were too soft. How to make it little crunchy?

        Kozhukattais are meant to be soft only 🙂
