This is my first shot at Kozukattais/ modagams. We do not celebrate Vinayagar chatruthi. So this is specially for all my blog followers who celebrate this festival!:) I got this recipe from sharmis passions. If you need more detailed pictures you make check out her page!
I personally loved the filling........yummy! There was alot of the filling left because I made very little dough for the outer covering. So we ate the filling without the outer covering!..:D
INGREDIENTS:
for the filling/ pooranam
3/4 cup channa dal
1 cup powdered jaggery
3 tbsps grated coconut
a pinch of cardamom powder
1/2 cup water (or more to make the dough)
salt to taste
1 tsp oil

1 cup powdered jaggery
3 tbsps grated coconut
a pinch of cardamom powder
for the outer covering:
1 cup rice flour1/2 cup water (or more to make the dough)
salt to taste
1 tsp oil
PROCESS:
- Pressure cook the channa dal for about 4 whistles and mash it. Keep aside
- In a bowl, add the jaggery and add warm water just enough to cover the jaggery. Dissolve the jaggery and then strain it. Transfer the liquid into a saucepan.
- Once the jaggery starts to boil add the mashed channa dal, coconut and the cardamom powder.
- Keep stirring till the mixture thickens and starts leaving the sides of the pan.
- Switch off the flame and roll them into small balls
- In another bowl add oil and salt to the rice flour.
- Slowly add the boiling water little by little to form a soft dough
- cover with a wet cloth till you start, to prevent it from drying
- Take a small ball in your palm and flatten it using your fingers, so that it forms a thin circle
- place a small ball of the filling (less than a lemon size) in the cente and bring the corners together. press the sides.
- steam the prepared modaks in a idli steamer for about 10 mins. when the outer layer is shiny, your modaks are done.
perfectly made dear :)
