Ellu kozhukattai
Ingredients
Rice flour (Ready made idiyappam flour)-1/2 cup, Sesame oil-1 tsp, Water-As needed, Salt-As needed.
For stuffing
Sesame seeds (I used black)-1/2 cup, Jaggery, powdered-3/4 cup, Grated coconut-1/4cup, Elachi-1
How to make
For the stuffing, wash the sesame seeds well for 3 to 4 times in lots of water. You have to remove all the impurities and spread it over a clean kitchen cloth. Let it be for 15 mins.
Mean while, for the dough, bring water to boil with a tsp of sesame oil and let it boil for a minute. Add it to the flour with salt and mix well. Use a spatula for mixing. You may need lots of water. So make sure you boil enough.
After it becomes warm, knead to a smooth dough and keep covered. You can make equal sized balls and keep covered.
By now the sesame seeds will be dry and roast it well until it pops. Add jaggery and coconut to it and mix in low flame.
Continue heating in medium flame until the jaggery melts and completely mixes. When it starts leaving the sides, pour and cool down in a plate.
When it is still warm, make equal sized balls.
Make small cups and stuff the sesame inside. You can refer the VIDEO for help.
Steam it for 8 to 10 minutes. (water should boil before you place the kozhukattai inside the steamer).
