Upma Kozhukattai | Kara Pidi Kozhukattai | Aval Pidi Kozhukattai is a tasty tiffin variety prepared with flattened rice.
Kozhukattai is a traditional recipe prepared with broken rice, here is a light and healthy version. Upma Kozhukattai serves as a great tiffin for breakfast/ dinner. Aval mixture is another favourite using aval
In our home we prefer having tiffin items for dinner. Aval Pidi Kozhukkatai is one common breakfast recipes prepared in home. Aval is light which makes Upma Kozhukattai a tasty dish.
Couple of days ago wanted to eat broken rice version but instead of using raw rice tried with flattened rice and liked the taste. It tasted similar to the traditional Kozhukattai prepared with Rice.
Arisi kurunai Adai can also be prepared with the same dough.
