For the Mani Kozhukattai,

Make the Rice flour dough and pinch out small dough and roll as a ball.

Steam for 10 - 15 mins. Allow to cool. When it's still hot it will not hold it's shape, once it's cooled it will retain it's ball shape, so don't handle it before.

Soak Urad dal for 2 hrs. Drain and grind along with green chilies, red chilies, salt, hing, curry leaves to a coarse mix

Once ground, make flat discs and steam for 10 mins. Grate to a fine powder.

Then add the grated Urad dal filling. add turmeric powder.

Once done, add the steamed mani kozhukattai, mix well. Finally garnish with grated coconut and offer as prasadam.
