Ingredients

  • Rice rava (uncooked) (1 cup) OR rice flour (1 cup)
  • Water (2 cups)
  • Fresh coconut (nariyal), grated (3 tbsp)
  • Sesame (til) oil (2 tsp)
  • Green chillies (hari mirch), finely chopped (1–2)
  • Mustard seeds (sarson) (1/2 tsp)
  • Curry leaves (kadi patta) (1 sprig)
  • Bengal gram (chana dal) (1 tsp)
  • Split black gram (urad dal) ( 1 tsp)
  • Salt (to taste)

Method

  • Heat oil in a kadhai, add chana dal (Bengal gram), urad dal (split black gram), mustard seeds, green chillies and curry leaves to it.
  • When the mustard seeds splutter, add water and salt.
  • As the water begins boiling, add grated coconut and rice rava, stirring consistently. Continuous stirring helps to make lump-free kozhukattai.
  • Cook the rice rava over low flame till it is even.
  • Let the mixture cool for 5 mins.
  • Grease your hands with oil.
  • Take a small portion of the mixture, squeeze it in your palm and shape them into oblong uppu.
  • Repeat the same procedure for the entire batch. Then steam the uppus for 5–7 mins in a greased steamer (you can also use idli plates).
  • The yummy uppu kozhukattai/kara pidi kozhukattai is ready to be served.
