Notes
- You can use rice flour instead but in that case, reduce water accordingly. You can also pulse rice and prepare rice grits
- I prefer using coconut oil as it gives the best taste. You can use any oil of your choiceyou can add veggies of your choice
- wait till it comes warm enough to roll then use sesame oil
- Kozhukattai might turn dry if you microwave. steam again for best soft kozhukattai. If you are microwaving, place a cup with little water and heat it with kozhukattai bowl
tips to prevent dry kozhukattai
- Add thrice the water proportional to the rice grits
- Sesame oil is optional but helps with texture
- Avoid excess steam cooking
