Ammini Kozhukattai/Mani Kozhukattai

Today is the final day of Blogging Marathon #17 for this week and the recipe is a simple yet delicious and cute looking ammini kozhukattai.
Usually this kozhukattai is made from left over dough which is made for purana kozhukattai but today I made this one with the freshly ground rice.
My grand mother makes this one with the freshly ground rice which is more tasty and soft but it can be prepared with the rice flour in a jiffy.Here goes the recipe......

Ingredients


IngredientQuantity
Raw rice/paccharisi1cup
Coconut(grated)4tbs
Moong dhal/paasiparuppu2tbs
Red chilly/varamilagai3-4nos.
Mustard seeds/kadugu1/2tsp
Urad dhal1tsp
Curry leaves/karivepillai1sprig
Asafoetida/perungayam generous pinch
Water2cups
Saltto taste
Oil1tbs


Method
                               Soak the raw rice for atleast 2 hours and meanwhile cook the moong dhal in a pressure cooker or microwave till soft and keep aside.
Grind the rice soaked rice with enough salt,2tbs of grated coconut and 1/2cup of water to a fine paste.
Heat 11/2cups of water in a pan and add a tsp of oil,once the water starts boiling add the ground paste and mix it till it gets cooked and the water get evaporated(as shown in the picture).Let it cool.
After cooling grease the palms and pinch a small portion( small grape size),make a smooth ball with the dough.
Steam it for 10-13 minutes in a steamer or cooker.
Heat  pan with 2tsp of oil,splutter the mustard seeds,urad dhal then add the red chillies,asafoetida and curry leaves.Now add the remaining grated coconut and the cooked moong dhal,a pinch of salt.Saute it for a minute and add the cooked balls into it,toss it well.Put off the stove.
Ammini kozhukattai is ready to serve.

Enjoy............................................


  • Adding the cooked moong dhal is purely optional.
  • The quantity of water depends on the quality of rice used,if it is too watery then keep it in the flam and mix it for one more minute.
  • If you are using the rice flour to make the kozhukattai,add the boiled water to the rice flour and mix it with a spatula.
  • The red chillies can be sustituted with finely chopped green chillies.
