Sweet (vella) Pidi Kozhukattai Recipe


Sweet Pidi Kozhukattai Recipe

 Prep Time : 5 mins(excluding rice flour preparation)

 Cook Time : 15 mins 
 Yields: 6 Vella pidi kolukattais
 Recipe Category: Dessert
 Recipe Cuisine: South Indian

   Ingredients needed

   Rice flour -1/2 cup
   Jaggery-1/2 cup shaved
   Grated coconut -1/4 cup
   Cardamom powder -1/4 tsp
   Ghee/clarified butter -1 tsp

Preparation


Dissolve jaggery in 1/2 cup + 1 1/2 tbsp of water over low heat. (The quantity of water will differ according to the quality of rice flour. It will vary from 1 – 1 1/2 cup of water for 1 cup of rice flour). Filter it to remove impurities.

Prepare rice flour as mentioned in my sweet kozhukattai recipe.

Method 


Heat the jaggery water, when it starts boiling, add grated coconut and cardamom powder.

jaggery syrup

Then lower the heat and add rice flour with one hand and stir continuously with your other hand to prevent formation of lumps.

Once all the water has evaporated, add a tsp of ghee and cook stirring now and then over low flame for 5-6 minutes.

      What is the confusion. I have given perfect measurements .I have added 1/2 cup of water and another 1 1/2 tbsp of water. That's all.

      I usually add 1 1/4 cup of water for 1 cup of rice flour. Since this recipe uses only 1/2 cup of rice flour, I have divided that 1 1/4 cup of water by 2 (which is 1/2 +1 1/2 tbsp). Hope I have made it clear.

      As I have written in the very first paragraph under 'preparation' that the water measurement depends on the quality of rice flour. You could have cooked adding a little more rice flour.

      Mostly it will get cooked within 15 minutes. You will see slight change in color.
