Kozhukotta
A home-style Kerala dish made with care and the kind of spice knowledge that comes from watching someone else cook it a hundred times. Each step matters, and the result is worth the effort.
Ingredientsfor 6 servings
- 2 cup Rice flour — roasted
- 11/2 cup Boiled water
- Salt, to taste

Knead them well to form a dough.

Heat up a pan or a kadai.
Step 5
Add coconut, jaggery, cumin seeds and cardamom.
Step 6
Cook, till jaggery melts.
Step 7
Allow it to cool.
Step 8
Coat your hand with extra flour to prevent sticking.
Step 9
Make 10 small balls off the above dough and flatten them.
Step 10
Place a small quantity of the coconut mix in the middle of the flattened balls.
Step 11
Seal the edges so as to form the shape of a ball.
Step 12

Tip
Do not rush the onion and shallot frying. The difference between pale onions and properly browned onions is the difference between a flat dish and a flavourful one.
