ULUNDU KOZHAKATTAI/UPPU KOZHAKATTAI/GANESHA CHATURTHI/VARALAKSHMI POOJA RECIPES

August 23, 2015 by Nithya Leave a comment

The savory version of kozhakattai is made with urad dal and is called ulundu kozhakattai.I like this more than the modakam,I often reserve some dough more whenever I make kozhakattais.The taste of ground urad dal steamed and sauteed acts as the filling and tastes simply awesome.Kozhakattai making is time consuming and hard work,but once you make them,the results are truly rewarding.I wanted to post this for long and as the festivities of Ganesha Chaurthi and Varalakshmi Pooja nearing I couldn’t think of posting anything.So over to the recipe..
