About Ulundu Kozhukattai
Its Ulundu Kozhukattai Recipe for vinayagar charthurthi special this week. I am excited about the long weekend coming up have so much plans right from cooking, relaxing, spending time with family and shopping so am very much looking forward for it. You can check the modak(pooranam kozhukattai) sweet version kozhukattai here (have updated with stepwise) which I posted last year so I’m posting savoury kozhukattaiai this year.
The stuffing is simple and flavourful that it can get over in a jiffy by itself 🙂 I always make the stuffing ready after that making kozhukattai outer dough is just a breeze.Savoury modaks are ready to be served. Tastes best when served hot or warm. We make both sweet and savoury kozhukattai and I love both.

For the outer covering
- 3/4 cup rice flour

Instructions
-
Soak urad dhal for an hour. Drain water and grind it with green chillies very coarsely. Just run the mixer once or twice to make it coarse. Do not make it pastey. Set aside.

-
Allow it to cool for 2-3 mins then knead once with your hands to make a smooth dough but it will be slightly sticky. Keep aside.

Next add the coarsely grinded urad dhal green chilli mixture and saute until it becomes dry and raw smell completely leaves, it may take 7-10mins.

Add required salt. Then add coconut mix well and switch off. Now your inner stuffing is ready. Grease your hands with oil and make small lemon sized balls.

Then flatten it slightly thin (or make it as cup) then add a tsp of ulundu stuffing / filling and seal it as shown.

Repeat this until the entire dough finishes. This is the easiest method I am following till date 🙂

Press the ends and seal it completely and make the design by pressing your thumb. You can also make designs with fork or use readymade shapes.

Notes

- Be very careful to run the mixie just once or twise else the urad dhal will get pastey.
