Ingredients

  • 1/2 cup samai / little millet
  • 1 carrot finely chopped
  • 2 tablespoon coconut grated
  • 1 cup water
  • salt to taste

To temper:

  • 1 teaspoon oil + 1 teaspoon for greasing
  • 1 teaspoon mustard seeds
  • 1/2 teaspoon urad dal
  • few curry leaves torn into pieces
  • 1 green chillies finely chopped

Instructions

  • Heat oil in a pan – add the items under ‘to temper’, let it splutter.Then add chopped carrot and saute for 2mins until raw smell leaves.
  • Then add water and allow it to boil for 3mins so that carrots get halfcooked.Add required salt.
  • Rinse the millet, drain water from it. When water boils, add the millet.
  • Cook covered until the millet is cooked and all the water is absorbed.
  • Add coconut give a quick mix and switch off.
  • Switch off and allow it to cool for few mins.
  • Once it is hand bearable hot grease your hands with oil and start making kozhukattai shapes or even as simply balls.
  • Continue doing it till the entire mixture gets over. If its too dry then sprinkle little water to hold them together.
  • Grease idli plates / steaming plate with little oil and carefully transfer the kozhukattais to the plate and steam it for 5-7mins. Switch off.
  • Serve Millet Kozhukattai hot with coconut chutney or any chutney of your choice!

Notes

  • I used samai for making this kozhukattai, You can even try with varagu or kuthirai vali.
  • Serve hot as millet recipes mostly tend to become dry faster.
  • Adding coconut enhances the flavour of the kozhukattai.
