Wash the palm leaves,cut the center protion about 4 to 5 inches long and set aside.Dry roast green gram dal till slightly browned. Cool down for few mins.

Transfer to a mixer and grind to a coarse mixture.Now in a bowl add rice flour,green gram mixture,grated coconut and cardamom powder.

Mix it well, I transferrred it to a wider bowl.Then add palm jaggery syrup little by little.

Keep mixing and the syrup fully, mix well.If it is still dry, sprinkle little water to form a dough like this, not too dry and not too goey.

Gather it together to form a dough.Open the palm leaf,grease it with oil,now stuff it with the dough lengthwise.

Tie it with a thread, I used palm leaf threads itself.Finish all the dough like this.Now arrange it in a steamer pot, I used my idli steamer.

As a final step steam it for atleast 15-20mins.Open and carefully remove the kozhukattais from the palm leaf.
