Sweet Pidi Kozhukattai

It’s one of the favorite dishes of Lord Ganesha. Normally we used to make this for Ganesh Chaturthi.

My mom prepared the flour by this given method. If you want you can use idiyappa flour.

     

And make sure the rice is almost cooked before steaming to get soft kozhukattai.

You can serve either warm or hot.

Ingredients

Raw Rice – 250 g

Jaggery – 250 g

Moong Dal – 100 g

Grated Coconut – 1 cup

Salt to taste

Method

In a kadai, add raw rice and saute it for 10 min on low flame. Then make it as coarse powder.

In the same pan, add moong dal and saute it till it become slight brown in color.

In a bowl, bring 1 ltr of water to boil. Then add sauteed moong dal, salt, grated coconut, jaggery and mix well. Do the process until jaggery dissolved in water completely.

In that, add the coarse powder of raw rice, little bit little. Mix well. Make sure it should not have any lumps.

The rice powder should cook well. And switch off the flame.
