As vinayagar chaturthi is fast approaching I am here posting few special recipes for the occasion. I have already posted pidi kozhukattai savoury version last yr so this year  wanted to give the sweet kozhukattai(vella pidi kozhukattai) a try and it came out soo good.It is sure a treat for all sweet lovers like me 🙂

I usually prefer the sweet kozhukattai than the savory version.Trust me, this is very easy to make without any fuss / major flops…Amma makes both version of pidikozhukattai the one made with rice flour and with broken rice that I am posting it here…

Ingredients

  • 1/2 cup raw rice
  • 1/2 cup jaggery
  • 2 cups water
  • 2 tbsp coconut
  • 1/4 tsp cardamom powder
  • ghee to taste

Instructions

  • Soak jaggery in warm water(till immersing level say 3/4 to 1 cup) , crush it well.
  • Then heat it up for 3mins..no consistency check has to be done here.Strain and keep aside.
  • Grind raw rice to a coarse mixture more like rava consistency.Set aside.
  • In a nonstick pan add jaggery syrup along with water, cococnut and cardamom powder. Let it come to a rolling boil, at this stage add rice mixture.
  • Keep in low flame and cook for 5mins then keep it closed. Check if rice is cooked then keep stirring to avoid burning at the bottom.
  • When it becomes a thick mass and comes together cook for 3 more mins and switch off. Allow it to cool down for few mins.
  • Grease your hands with oil / ghee then take a small portion and make cylindrical shapes and press it with your fingers to get the impression...repeat the same for the entire mixture.
  • Then arrange it in a idli plate and steam it for 7-10mins.
  • While serving you can add a tsp of ghee for the extra flavour and shine too. Enjoy Vella Kozhukattai!

Notes

  • Make sure you use only 2 cups of water including jaggery syrup.
  • If you are not confident of the exact consistency to switch off, you can just take a small ball and roll and see, if it forms a ball then its the right consistency.
  • Dont make jaggery syrup thick else rice will not get cooked easily.Keep your jaggery syrup runny just like water.
  • Make sure the rice is almost cooked before steaming this ensure soft kozhukattais.
  • Make sure you grind raw rice only to a coarse rava like mixture, dont powder it fine.
