Ingredients

  • 1/2 cup rice flour / idiyappam flour
  • salt to taste
  • water as needed

Instructions

  • To a mixing bowl add rice flour(idiyappam flour) add salt to it.Mix well.
  • Add water little by little to form a smooth dough. The dough should not be too tight or too loose then the kozhukattais would turn out hard. It should be smooth without cracks.
  • Pinch a little dough and shape them as you like. I just made small circles and made dents as shown but make sure to shape them small not too big else inside will not get cooked easily. Repeat to finish the dough.
  • Boil water in a pan.
  • Carefully add the shaped kozhukattai dough may be few at a time, do not push everything together. Take few, add and repeat. Do not touch for 2 mins.
  • Then gently mix with ladle, just check if it has stuck to the bottom slightly slide it so that it floats.
  • Cook for 8-10 mins in low medium flame.
  • The water may turn white but don't worry the kozhukattais would be perfect. Mix in between so that it doesn't stick to the bottom.
  • The kozhukattais would be soft and will look slightly coarse then its perfectly cooked. Strain and remove the kozhukattais and transfer to a plate.
  • You can serve Uppu Kozhukattai warm with grated coconut or coconut bits.

Notes

  • Serve along with grated coconut or coconut bits, tastes best.
  • The shapes are upto you.But make sure to make small shapes so that it gets cooked easily.
