    Next in the series of Ganesh Chaturthi Special Recipes, is Ulundhu Kozhukattai or Uppu Kozhukattai.

    This is a savory dish made with the rice flour dough stuffed with a savory mix of Urad dal ground with green and red chilies. After all the sweet modak / Kozhukattai offered to God, I am sure he needs a savory one to make a pleasant combination.

    I made extra for the Mani Kozhukattai also, which is to be followed. The Uppu Kozhukattai were very spicy and tasty. This was  my second day neivedyam. I made Channa Dal Kozhukattai, Uppu Kozhukattai and Fried Modak.

    This is a very healthy snack as this has Urad dal and also steamed.

    Ingredients Needed

    For the outer Rice flour dough, make as I showed in the Fried Modak.

    For the Urad Dal filling.

    Urad Dal / Ulundhu - 1 cup
    Green Chilies - 2 -3 medium
    Red Chili - 2
    Curry leaves few
    Hing / Asafetida
    Salt to taste
    Turmeric powder a pinch
    Oil - 1 tsp

    How to make Ulundhu Kozhukattai:

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

    We can make it two ways.

    Easy way:

    Simply roast the ground mix in 1 tsp oil in a non stick pan till the Urad dal is cooked well.

    Steamed method.

    Once ground, make flat discs and steam for 10 mins.

    Then grate to a fine powder, fry in a non stick pan using 1 tsp, add turmeric powder.

    When the filling is ready, make the outer layer with the rice dough.

    Pinch out a small ball of rice dough, grease your palm with oil, flatten the dough to a small disc. Place a spoonful of savory filling, close the disc as a half moon. Press on the edges in a crisscross way, to make sure the filling doesn't come out.

    When you are done with all of them, steam them for 10 - 15 mins.

    Once done, allow it to cool before handling.

     

    Will be back tomorrow with another delicacy

    Have a great weekend
