About Kara Kozhukattai Using Rice Flour
In Tamil, the word Pidi means to hold someone, and it is also used to measure something, such as Oru Pidi Arisi, which means one fistful of rice. Kozhukkattai, also known as kozhukatta, is a popular South Indian dumpling made from rice flour and filled with grated coconut, jaggery, or chakkavaratti. Kozhukattai, while typically sweet, can occasionally be stuffed with a savoury filling. Kerala Christians prepare it on the Saturday before Palm Sunday, hence the name Kozhukatta Saturday. Modak is a similar dish that is prepared in other parts of India. This is a popular dish for the Ganesh Chaturthi festival.

Homemade Rice Flour :
Rice flour is a type of flour that is made from finely ground rice. It differs from rice starch, which is typically made by steeping rice in lye. Rice flour is a popular wheat flour substitute.
Fresh Coconut :
Fresh coconut meat tastes tropical, nutty, and slightly sweet. It has a strong flavour, particularly when dried. When coconut is roasted, it takes on a woodier flavour with hints of vanilla. Fruit, water, and milk are all popular and highly valued for their fresh, sweet, and refreshing qualities.
Mustard Seeds :
They are used as a seasoning rather than a base flavour in many Indian dishes, and they really perk up a lentil or rice dish when fried in a little oil with curry leaves . As a result, mustard seeds are excellent for adding flavour without adding fat to your diet. Follow me on Instagram, Facebook,Pinterest ,Youtube and Twitter for more Yummy Tummy inspiration.
