Pidi kozhukattai recipe - Millet Kara kozhakattai recipe - Pidi kolukattai recipe
Super soft and healthy steamed millet kara kozhukattai recipe. I am not a big fan of pidi kozhukattai during my childhood days. But later after marriage, I started liking it very much. This pidi kozhukattai recipe I have already shared in my Millet cookbook. Also, we make Thavala adai also using the same ingredients.
Traditionally, we make pidi kozhukattais using raw rice. It is similar to arisi upma but we steam the mixture and make it more healthy. In Some houses, they wash and dry the rice and pulse it and some just wipe the rice nicely with a clean towel and then make pidi kozhukattais. I have posted a lot of varieties of modakam | kozhakattai recipes in Jeyashris kitchen for Ganesh chaturthi.
