Check out how to make Kozhukattai maavu

The savory version of kozhukattai , which is made by stuffing urad dal poornam, made for Ganesha Chaturthi. Last year itself I wanted to post the recipe for ulundu kozhukattai, but somehow I couldn’t make it out.

In my mom’s place, she makes this savory version of kozhukattai more than the Modakam, whereas in my in-law’s place every one likes Modakam a lot. Though the making of kozhukattai is a bit time-consuming I love to make it and of course, eat it too. Check out my ganesha chathurthi recipes

2. The leftover urad dal poornam can be used in Ammini kozhukattai instead of idli milagai podi.

  1. Hello, Thanks a lot for sharing this recipe. in my home too, they make savory (ur style) and sweet. though I phone my mom to ask the recipe, a photographed step by step procedure helps a lot. This yr, our vinayagar is tasting this kozhukattai too 🙂

  2. Hi, Looking at all the posts, I couldnt imagine what a terrific cook you are! I love good food, but I am not a great cook. Your pictures and your interest really inspire me a lot.

  3. Hi Jeyashree, I used your recipe and it came out very well. However I have a lot of ulundhu pooranam left over, even after using some in ammini kozhukattai. Any suggestions on what to do with it?
