Dates Kozhukattai


Wanted to make something different for Vinayaga Chathurthi. Instead of making the usual kozhukattai with sesame seeds, I thought of making it with dates.





INGREDIENTS

Dates chopped  - 10 nos
Rice flour  -  2 cup
Grated coconut  -  1/2 cup
Sugar or Jaggery  -  As per sweetness
Salt  -  2 pinch
Oil  -  1 tsp

METHOD

Boil 2 1/2 cup of water along with oil and salt.
When the water starts boiling, reduce the heat and add rice flour and stir continuously till it becomes a thick dough.
Allow the dough to cool.
Put the chopped dates in pan, add grated coconut and sugar or jaggery as per sweetness.
Mix well, until all the ingredients is combined well.
Take a small ball of dough and shape it into a cup.
Place little of dates mixture in it, cover it and keep it aside.
Arrange the kozhukattai in a greased plate and steam cook for 10 minutes.
Serve.
