Palapazham Kozhukattai / Chakka Kozhukattai, a delicious stuffed kozhukattai made with the jackfruit & coconut filling.
I'm a big fan of jackfruit and whenever i see a jackfruit at the grocery store(which is very rare here in Canada), without a second thought, i would pick it up. I like to eat jackfruit as it is, so making dishes with jackfruit is very rare in my kitchen.
One day, the jackfruit that i got was very less sweet so it was sitting in the refrigerator for a few days without anyone touching it, hence i had thought of making this kozhukattai which i knew from a friend. To my surprise, it was so good and i simply love the jackfruit flavor in the kozhukattai.
From then onwards, this kozhukattai became a regular in my kitchen. If you too like jackfruit flavor, then definitely give a try on this delicious kozhukattai.
Before moving on to the recipe, let's see some FAQs about the mothagam in general.
Why can't I shape the modak / mothagam ?
Dough consistency is the key to making modak shapes easily. There are a couple of things to be taken care of for making the dough. Those are
- Rice flour should be fine enough such that adding hot water into the flour makes it almost cooked.
- Almost cooked rice flour is pliable and easy to make shapes. Otherwise you can't make shapes and the dough would be easily breakable.
- Water should be boiled for making the dough.
- Grease your hands well to avoid the dough sticking to your hands while shaping.
- If you're a beginner, buy a modak/mothagam mold, it will do your job a lot easier.
Steaming for a longer time would make the modak crack on the outer layer. Since the dough is almost cooked already, there is no need to cook for a longer time. Just 5-7 mins of steaming is enough. ![](https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgU89o0beoXSy4kIDyZDleB64B76MBaiVrxlYbLO294aU7g3OUe2yIp40uLz5Hj97NZOt7eMoybgTvTqy_zYqr5NgDKzu5GOrFEydgKsXd_I7hGTN0N7BP8F_VcoAPNkr1S-cB209vfSMt6DUgCOZLht4PDVoT711UkTNuVy_8dX8y2tOwobOuTDKc2hptC/s16000/Jackfruit_Kozhukattai.jpg)

First let's make the stuffing/pooranam. Take the jackfruit and remove the seeds and place it on the steamer basket and steam it for 3-4 mins until they are soft.
Let them cool a bit and grind into smooth puree. In a sauce pan, add the jackfruit puree, coocnut and jaggery. Give a quick mix.![](https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhdfdomtEIGrstctHJAk_eCzb9UfJR7901DZp0i06izkt2pQHcOzl-BpvgYUU8TsaTngab8zwfYGKpi96Cmk34YiZl_8sVtrm4Bh9LXKTJJ2RWGhW1Izsg19ypQLM9c7TAPA0nNBrYAiQ_hFip6tYtNvjfbw_WJtFJZAC7f1kEjfhDkA_FHWVgs9iJGb0W1/s16000/Jackfruit%20Kozhukattai_2.png)

Turn on the heat and cook the mixture till it leaves the sides of the pan. Let it cool down completely.![](https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgW6K6L5n3IddWpw1y1UCY-2JfXgDK8z06D_TnTY0OZtTU5Nj8F-cSpJoA3qAj8QkVEVcocg2EIKRl1N5pBtB4x5753ZQs4_o_uoXGukos70jaW0bUl-4iKf9gEl5wjt1if8VM3czvqTLErt-RDZRHTMeUSpEejMdcY1IwcWlgPz0bHxY4wAxfAaoTYVqVJ/s16000/Jackfruit%20Kozhukattai_3.png)

Take a small portion of dough and make a smooth ball. Grease your hand with oil and then gently press the dough with your finger and form a small disc. Fill the disc with the pooranam/jackfruit stuffing. ![](https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgQWi_3b2xEDDpl6q3TYsXOrBUmymdfHovzQ4HLNYkkAJ8mW2F9jL98DUmN7aiVuE0O7XFkDbxfFjO4jeKpNAYaBKBuXE7iH9AvA2BdDo1P37KDAfelNN0526_uNgZdXh2PiCfL0YYYHT7-BNFKXrOa-Vd9GtQaF7BZSfuUNpo6duxN-1ZqGBjMDEkm-pRa/s16000/Jackfruit%20Kozhukattai_6.png)

Next close the edge and then pinch on the edges to form a nice rim. Place it on the steamer basket and steam it for 4-5 mins. ![](https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjs6J1_TfeQKY_K69g3048Gfs33h5m6RLyq7v1F0mBPaSnmnFKB5VLuXAezj1sfscL18GAqNVOgBcukbSr8wLfTehXR2QpFsww9j41iooIFDQKEo2AXshJSPMrVRqxN_V2JyuQepSMM98hrFYFY837sRf6aPoQ1QhGmsPe8sMLdVjXcGrRNTuAzGw9haLPk/s16000/Jackfruit%20Kozhukattai_7.png)
