Notes
- The consistency in grinding the mixture is purely our choice, if you like it even more fine then go ahead.We liked ours a bit on the coarse side.
- Make the kozhukattais when its still warm and steam it. Do not let it open for a long time which will cause the mixture to be dry ending up in hard kozhukattais.
- If you like the chunky pieces then add coconut bits instead of grated coconut.
- You can use upma rava(white rava) too for making this kozhukattai.
