Pidi Kozhukattai Recipe – Chitra Pournami Recipes

I prepared this sweet pidi kozhukatai on Chitra pournami day and offered to God along with raw mango pachadi , panagam and neer mor. I am very happy, I tried this kozhukattai on my own for the first time. So far my aunty(MIL) was there with me and she used to make all these and I was just a listener. Now my in-laws are in my native, so I was in a position to do it..Thank God, it turned out so well. It dint break, it was very soft as I expected 🙂


Ingredients
1 cup – 250ml

Please check THIS POST for my latest recipe on sweet pidi kozhukattai using store bought rice flour

  • Rice flour – 1 cup
  • Powdered jaggery – 3/4 cup
  • Water – 1.5 cups
  • Cardamom powder – 1/4 tsp
  • Grated coconut –1/4 cup
Method
  • Heat a pan with 1cup of water and add the powdered jaggery to it. Let it melt and strain the impurities if any.
  • The syrup starts to boil and becomes frothy. Now add the grated coconut, cardamom powder along with rice flour.
  • Mix well till it becomes like a chapati dough. If the water is not sufficient, add little hot water.. (Keep the hot water ready before this step). First I used 3/4 cup of water to make the syrup, then I added 1/4 cup of hot water. If you feel the water is more, add rice flour. No problem:) Now remove from the flame and let it cool.
  • Grease the idly maker plates with gingely oil .
  • Make oval shaped balls with the dough and just press it with your fingers. (U can get an idea by looking at the picture)
  • Steam it in the idli maker as you make idlies.

Sweet pidi kozhukkatai is ready!!

    I can always go for mango chutney! Thanks for all the info on jaggery – I didn’t realize all of its health benefits.
