Notes
- I used readymade idiyappam flour, Nirapara brand. You can even use homemade rice flour.
- Add 1/3 cup jaggery if you less sweetness.
- The water quantity depends on the rice flour quality so adjust accordingly.
Add hot water to jaggery so that it dissolves quickly. - Dont 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.
- Dont steam for more time , it will make the kozhukattais rubbery and hard.Also dont cook for more time in jaggery syrup, just toss and let the syrup coat the kozhukattais that’s enough.
- You can even add a teaspoon of ghee and roast cashews and raisins and add it.
- Adding sesame seeds give a nutty crunch while eating which I loved it so don’t skip it.
