Mani kozhukattai recipe | ammini kozhukattai recipe with poornam| vinayagar chaturthi recipes

Mani kozhakattai or ammani kozhukattai or mini kozhukattai, other wise called undrallu guggillu, in telugu ,is generally made with the left over dough we make for modakam. I have already posted the recipe of the Ammini kozhukattai with idli milagai podi. Last weekend we had a dinner meet with a friends group, and it was a potluck party. One among our  friends told that she will bring ammini kozhukattai as her mil makes it very well. You won’t believe, i just had ammini kozhukattais for dinner. It was highly addictive and super awesome too. She made the poornam with toor dal and mixed with the steamed rice balls. This can be had as a evening snack too. Try this one for this ganesha chaturthi too.

  • Keep it aside.
  • Bring 1 and 1/2 cups of water to boil . In a wide vessel keep the flour. I used the idiyappam flour and so i didn’t add salt. If using rice flour add salt. Water proportion varies according to the texture of the flour.
  • Add the water to the flour and slowly mix this with a spoon.
  • When it is warm to handle grease you hands with sesame oil and mix the dough well to make it soft and a bring it to a whole mass.
