Kaara Pidi Kozhukattai – 2

Hello friends,
I have already made kaara kozhukattai/Uppu urundai earlier with red chillies and posted before, but now I made the same kaara kozhukattai with green chillies and ginger. This kaara kozhukattai is a wonderful and a healthy evening snacks for kids after school. I made this kaara kozhukattai for Vinayagar chathurthi and I am sharing it with you all.

Here’s how to make Kaara Kozhukattai with step by step photos…




Ingredients

1 cup
Salt
As needed
Water
1 ¾  cup
Grated coconut
1 tbsp
Cilantro
2 tsp finely chopped

For Tempering

Oil
1 tbsp
Mustard seeds
½ tsp
Cumin seeds
½ tsp
Channa dal/Kadala paruppu
1 tsp
Urad dal
1 tsp
Green chillies
2 finely chopped
Ginger
1 inch piece finely chopped
Curry leaves
6 to 8

Method

Heat oil in a kadai, splutter mustard seeds, then add cumin seeds, channa dal, urad dal and saute until they turn golden brown.

Now add the green chillies, ginger, curry leaves and saute until raw smell goes off.



Add the water, salt and let it boil. Once it starts to boil add the rice flour slowly and keep stirring constantly.



Add the grated coconut, cilantro and mix thoroughly and switch off the stove.



When it is still warm, grease your hands with oil and make balls in your hand and press them with fingers as shown in the photo or just roll it.



Grease the idli plates and arrange all the pidi kozhukattais and steam cook them for about 10 to 12 min. Switch off the stove and let it cool for few minutes.



The cooked kara pidi kozhukattai will look shiny and ready to be offered as neivadhyam or as a wonderful evening snack.

  7. ஆஹா, காரப்பிடிகொழுக்கட்டை சூப்பரோ சூப்பர். படங்களைப்பார்த்தாலே நாக்கில் ஜலம் வருகிறது.

    இதை தயாரிக்கும் போது இருமுறைகள் வேக வைக்கப்படுவதால், நல்ல ருசியாக காரசாரமாக ஜோராக இருக்கும் தான்.

    பாராட்டுக்கள். பகிர்வுக்கு நன்றிகள்.
