Inipu Kozhukattai | Sweet Kozhukattai | Banana pidi Kozhukattai | Inipu Kozhukattai is a healthy sweet Kozhukattai prepared with banana. It is a good toddler friendly recipe.
Inipu Kozhukattai is a traditional south Indian delicacy prepared in both sweet and savory versions. There was a stage when my son started preferring foods which he can hold and eat. Paniyaram was my instant saver on many days. One day I prepared Savory pidi Kozhukattai for us and he liked.
Knowing the fact he loves sweets and to include banana into his diet, generally I prepare sweet inipu Kozhukattai with jaggery and banana.
