Kara Pidi Kozhukattai, a steamed savoury dumpling made from rice flour. I make them often at home as a snack for evening or as breakfast with some chutney and it's delicious in both ways.
As vinayagar chathurthi is around the corner, I thought maybe this kozhukattai recipe would be useful for beginners who're looking for something easy without much effort.
So I made this yesterday just for the sake of posting here.Along with mothagam or sweet pidi kozhukattai, you can make this also as a prasadam for vinayagar on chaturthi day. Now let's move on to the recipe.
