Kollukattai

     Being a lazy girl, always i'll be very sceptical to take up sweet for preparation. I got 2 reasons behind that 1. We are not sweet loving family. 2. I need lot of patience to prepare the sweets. That too Kozhukattai, OMG!!!!! to be frank, this was the first time i prepared in my life time, that too because of Vinayagar Chathurthi fest. Usually if this occassion comes, will immediately run to my mom or in-laws place just to get free'd from this preparation but this time Vinayagar loved to taste my Kozhukattai and Sundal it seems :( due to some reason, we celebrated in our home :( So, i(Myself !!!) prepared this Kozhukatti and Sundal for Pooja. Finally, everything came out well and my lil one enjoyed thorougly and even the vinayagar too.... :P

P.S: My cam had some problem then. so here am sharing my procedure and the clicks with very bad clarity :(

ALL YOU NEED:

Rice Flour	1 cup
Salt	Pinch
Water	Required

For Stuffing:

Raosted Groundnut	1/2 cup
Powdered Jaggery	1/3 cup

METHOD:
     Do a whipper in mixie with unskined roasted groundnut and jaggery powder. Keep it aside. Take a wide bowl, add Rice flour, pinch of salt and make it as a dough without any lumps and it SHOULD NOT watery. Make even sized balls out of it. Take a polytene cover, grease it with oil, take a dough ball and flatten it using your finger until it comes thin. Now add a spoon of powdered groundnut + Jaggery mixture and close the both ends. Repeat the process. Now place all the kozhukattai in an idly plates and steam it for 10 minutes. Once done, allow it to cool down and Enjoy with Sundal !!!

Note: You can substitute groundnut with white/black roasted sessame seeds too.
