Steamed rice dumplings, both sweet and the spicy ones complimenting each other can truly be a tasty treat. This popular item not only adds itself to the snack list, but can also be a perfect breakfast combo for a relaxed Sunday. The sweet kozhakatta, slightly modified to a tomb-like face are also called as Modaks, Lord Ganesha’s favorite.
Kozhakatta with a sweet filling / Modaks
Rice Flour: 1 cup
Hot Water: 1/2 cup
Salt: a pinch
Filling
Jaggery: 3 Blocks (grated)
Cardamom: 2 pods (powdered with little sugar)
Ghee: 1 teaspoon
Grated Coconut: 1/2 cup
Begin by mixing the rice flour, salt and hot water to make a soft dough as you would for making chappathis. Roll out smaller balls and keep aside. Meanwhile mix the grated coconut, grated jaggery, ghee and powdered cardamom to make the filling.
Slightly oil your palm, press the rolled out ball individually and make a pocket for the filling. Close the pocket with the edges and roll it back into a ball. The easiest way to steam these are in the Idli steam cooker. It is usually ready in 15-20 mins. Once cooled down, serve them as a whole or cut in half.
