Ingredients

The following ingredients have 2 Servings
  • Fresh rice flour - 1 cup
  • Water - 1.5 cup
  • Oil – 2 tbsp
  • Salt - 1/2 tsp (or as required)
  • For Tempering
  • Oil - 2 tbsp
  • Mustard seeds - 1 tsp
  • Urid dal - 1 tsp
  • Grated Coconut - 2 tbsp
  • Curry leaves - few
  • Dry red chilli - 1 (broken)
  • Asafetida powder - 1/4 tsp

Instruction

  • Most people boil the water first and then gradually mix in the rice flour. I do it in a slightly different way. I first mix the rice flour, salt and oil in the normal water without any lumps.
  • Keep this mix on low flame and continuously keep stirring till you get a soft rice ball.
  • Allow this rice mix to cool down. Then knead the same with your palm. Apply some oil in your palm to avoid stickiness.
  • Take out marble sized rice dough and roll it between your palm to form a smooth ball.
  • Take these balls in a idli plate or a steamer plate. Steam cook for 5-7 minutes.
  • Heat oil in a kadai, add mustard seeds and urid dal.
  • Once it pops, add the curry leaves, broken red chilli and asafetida powder.
  • When it is done, add the steamed rice balls in it. Also add the grated coconut. Sauté for couple of minutes and switch off.
  • Transfer to a serving bowl and enjoy your tasty ammini kozhukattai.
