Why my kozhukattai turns hard?

• If the kozhukattai dough is tight and hard, your kozhukattais may turn hard.
• If the kozhukattais are steamed for a long time than required then it may turn hard.

What rice flour to use for kozhukattai?

• I use homemade idiyappam flour
• You can use store bought idiyappam flour or kozhukattai flour.
• Do not use usual rice flour – use only rice flour that is named as idiyappam flour or kozhukattai flour.

Variations:

• You can add 2 tbsp of urad dal pooranam too.
• You can add a handful of cooked moong dal or chana dal to it for variation.
