POORANAM KOZHUKATTAI
There are different varieties in this dish that is claimed to be Lord Ganesha’s favorite. However, since I have no blender, here is a simple one. Also, quite easy too for beginners to start with as I am one myself :-)
Preparation Time – 15 Mins
Serves - 2
Ingredients:
Rice flour – 200 gms
Jaggery (Vellam) – 1 cup
Coconut Grating – 2 cups
Cardamom – 2 No.s
A pinch of salt
Saffron – A few strands (Optional)
Method:
1. Put the rice flour in a kadai a fry in sim for about minutes till a good rice aroma comes out
2. To this add 2 cups of boiling water with a pinch of salt
3. Mix with your hands and make dough. Take out small lemon balls and keep aside. Refer image below.
4. Meanwhile put jaggery in a vessel add 150 ml of water. Keep stirring till the jaggery melts. Once the jaggery completely melts add the grated coconut and cardamom powder. This will be a semi
dry mixture. This is called pooranam.
5. Using your thumb slightly press the ball in the middle and keep the pooranam in the middle. Refer image here.
