Paal Kozhokattai
Paal kozhukattai is rice dumplings cooked in jaggery surup with coconut milk. We can prepare this payasam with normal milk but today I'm using coconut milk. We can add sugar but traditional recipe is with jaggery.
Ingredients:
Rice flour - 1cup
Water - 1cup
Grated coconut - 1/2cup
Jaggery - 1cup
Coconut /
Milk - 1.5 cups
Cardamon - 1/4 tsp
Salt - 1pinch
Oil- few drops
Method:
# Heat a pan add few drops of cooking oil, then add a cup of water with pinch of salt. Let it boil well, add rice flour in small batches .... mix well with spatula....the dough should not stick to the pan (it should come all together). Turn off the stove allow it to cool.
# Once it comes to room temperature make small balls of it( marble size).
# Heat idli steamer by pouring water as we steam our idli's. Take idli plate smear little oil to the plates and put the small riceballs which you have prepared. It takes about 10- 15 min to steam or cook.
# Once the riceballs are steamed/ cooked keep it aside.(cooked riceballs will be pale in colour)
# Dissolve jaggery in 1/4 cup of water. Filter jaggery surup.
