  • Boil the water by adding salt and sesame oil to it.

  • When it is warm knead it with your hands and add a tsp of sesame oil if you want.
  • Cover with a moist cloth to avoid dryness.

Notes:

  • Do not over steam this kozhukattais as it will turn hard and chewy.
  • Instead of Idli Milagai Podi you can add redchilli powder while kneading the dough and make balls. the rest of the procedure is same.
  • You can add pepper powder to the seasoning and make it as pepper ammini kozhukattai.
  • Thengai molagapodi can be added and in that case you can skip the coconut.
  • Alternatively while tempering mustard seeds chopped green chilies or red chilies can be added to give spicyness to the ammini kozhukattais.
