| Urad dhal | 1/2 cup |
| water | 2 cup |
| Green chillies | 4 nos. |
| Asafetida | 2 pinches |
| Coconut | 2 tblsp |
| Salt | As needed |
Tadka
| Mustard | 1 tsp |
| Asafetida | 2 pinches |
| Curry leaves | 1 sprig |
Method:
- Soak urad dhal for an hour and grind green chillies ,coconut first and then add asafetida and urad dal to it. Use inch/juice button in the mixer to grind to a coarse paste.
- Heat a heavy bottomed vessel with 2 tsp of oil and add the tadka items and pour water to it.
- When the water starts boiling,add the ground paste and bring to boil.
- Add salt and rice flour and stir well.
- Stir till you get a dough consistency,by this time the rice flour should have got cooked.
- The dough will not be so sticky after it cools down.
- Grease the idly plate and your hands with oil and make round patties ( kozhukattais ), arrange them and steam cook for 10-15 minutes.
- Your tasty,healthy kozhukattai is ready! We enjoyed with coconut thogaiyal and sambhar!
