Poorana Kozhukkattai for Vinayaka Chathurthi

Happy Vinayaka Chathurthi to all readers.

I am going to give the recipe of Paasiparuppu Poorana Kozhukkattai. Many people make kadalai
paruppu poorana kozhukkattai. But, I tried with Pasipparuppu (Yellow Moong Dal). I have also heard that kadalai paruppu gives us gastric troubles.

Ingredients needed :

For the filling (pooranam)
Yellow Moong Dal - 1 cup
Jaggery - 1 1/2 cup
Cardamom Seeds - take out seeds from 4 elaichis
Water  - 1 to 2 tbsp

For the Outer Cover :
Rice Flour -2 cups
Water - 4 cups

Method :

1. Dry roast the dal in medium heat until it changes colour . Allow it to cool down .

2.  Once the dal is cool, powder it in the mixie .

3. Add the powdered jaggery  and powdered cardamom seeds to the dal powder and  turn on the mixie again. Everything will become a powder .

4. Now, transfer the mix in to a large bowl and sprinkle 1 tbsp water and start making a dough.
    Once the water is added , the jaggery will start to melt . So, be careful when adding water. Make a       dough.

5. Now, roll out small balls or elongated ones, as you wish.

6. Now, it is time to make the outer cover for the kozhukkattai. In a large bowl, put the rice flour.

7. In a pot, boil 4 cups of water , remember, the water should be bubbling hot. Do not turn off the
    stove . Once it has come to a buuling point, simmer.

8. Now , add the bubbling water laddle by laddle into the rice flour and keep mixing with a laddle.

9. Now, grease your hands with sesame oil and take a small ball of the rice flour dough. Flatten it .
   In the middle keep one of the filling balls and seal the cover.

  

10. Now, in a pressure cooker, steam the balls for 10 minutes.

Delicious Kozhukkattai  is ready to eat , of course after offering them to PILLAYAR  !!
