  • Add more water if required. Mix well and make a whole mass like chapatti dough. (initially u need a ladle to mix but when the dough becomes warm, mix it well with ur hands to make a soft , non- sticky dough.)
  • Apply a tsp of sesame oil over the dough to cover it. ( this prevents the dough from drying).Cover it with damp cloth and lid , set aside. Have a look at this VIDEO for more details. kozhukattai dough tile2

TIPS FOR MAKING KOZHUKATTAI WITHOUT CRACKS
  1. Use good quality rice flour. If u r planning to make by grinding rice, buy raw rice ( in tamil nadu we call as “maavu arisi) ie. the rice used for making rice flour.Its a different quality , not the one we use for pongal.It is cheaper in cost too.
  2. I use store bought rice flour - Idiyappam flour or Anil kozhukattai maavu. I always add 1.5 cups of water adding a tsp of oil for making dough. For home made rice flour, water quantity may vary.
  3. Always add the required water while making the dough.If the dough becomes sticky or dry, u’ll get crack.
  4. Keep the unused dough covered with a wet cloth and then with a lid while u make modakam.
  5. Its always better to prepare the outer covering after making pooranam/ stuffings to prevent the dough sitting for long time.
  6. U can refrigerate the unused dough covered by wet cloth be keeping in an air tight box & use the next day or the same evening.
  7. Pooranam can be prepared the previous day and refrigerated.
  8. Apply sesame/gingely oil in ur hands every time when u make the shape.
  9. Last but not the least , do not cook the kozhukattai in idli pot for long time which may lead to cracks.( maximum of 8-10 mins is enough)
  10. Always place the idli plate filled with kozhukattai after the water in the idli pot starts roll boiling. This helps for quick cooking & also the kozhukattai remains white in color and crack free.
  11. U can identify the cooked kozhukattai by its shining look.
  12. Always remove the kozhukattai after it becomes warm.Do not remove when it is hot. Kozhukattai may break.
