    How to prepare Sweet Ammini Kozhukattai ,Pictorial:

     
        1.First start by preparing the Jaggery Syrup .In a pan add in water once the water boils add in the grated Jaggery .Stir well so that all the Jaggery is melted completely.
        2.Once the jaggery syrup comes to a boil and it becomes a slightly thick syrup .switch off the flame and allow it to cool down once it cools down strain it to remove the impurities.

    3.Sieve the Rice flour along with salt twice or thrice to ensure even mixture of the salt and flour and set it aside. In another sauce pan bring water to boil.

     

    4.Once it boils switch off the flame and add it directly to the rice flour with the help of a ladle keep on stirring and mixing the water till necessary and the dough is very smooth. 

     
         5.  Allow the dough to cool down till the heat is bearable .the start kneading the dough to a soft ball. Roll it into very small sized balls out of all the dough.

    6.Grease an idly pan add steam the small rice flour balls for about 5-7 mins or till done. Once the balls are cooked it will have a shiny texture. In a Pan dry roast Sesame seeds and grated coconut till a nice aroma comes and switch off the flame.

     

    7.In another pan add in the Jaggery syrup let it gets heated and it reaches a thick saucy consistency .Do this in a medium flame and then add in the cooked Rice balls/kozhukatai cook for another 3 mins in low flame till the sauce get coated over the kozhukattai and the add in the dry roasted coconut and sesame mixture cook for another minute till everything is blended well and switch off the flame.

     
    Notes:
     
    • Always keep the flour covered while making balls else it will become dry.
    • Add very hot boiling water to mix with the rice flour to get the correct consistency.
    • If you have added more water to the rice flour you can add in rice flour and adjust to get the desired consistency.
    • You can also replace Jaggery with Karupatti/Palm sugar for a deep colour.
