Poornam Kozhukattai



Poornam Kozhukattai (stuffed rice balls)

Ingredients

Fot the stuffing

3/4 cup Powdered Jaggery
1 cup fresh grated coconut
1 tsp Cardamom powder
2 tsp ghee

Preparation

In a pan heat 2 tsp ghee, add Jaggery and coconut. Saute and mix well for 3-4 minutes. Add cardamom powder. When the moisture gets dried up from the mixture completely, Remove from heat. Let it cool.
For making the kozhukattai it is the same process as the pal-kozhukattai dough. I made a common dough for both the recipes.

Divide the dough into small lemon sized balls.Using the thumb and forefinger, shape the balls gradually into a cup shape. Place a little coconut-jaggery filling in the middle and carefully close it from all sides. Make small modak shapes. Arrange it in a greased idli plate and steam cook for 10 minutes.
Serve them after they cool down.
