Kozukkattai is yet another popular dish in South Indian cuisine. These are basically steamed dumplings made of rice flour or any other grain flour. It can be prepared either with a filling based on coconut, Sugar/Jaggery, Mashed dal, etc. This is a healthier version of Rice Kozhukkattai. I have taken an equal proportion of Ragi and Rice Flour to make this kozhukkatai. You may increase or decrease Ragi flour according to your taste.
If you are a mother of a fuzzy toddler, You can think about adding this as finger food to your toddler’s menu. I made this for an evening snack. But this fits for a wholesome breakfast.
