Kutti Kozhukattai

This is a kids special recipe. Kids love it and its very easy to prepare as well. You need:

1. Rice flour - 1 cup.
2. Grated coconut - 5tbsp
3. salt to taste
4. water
5. Mustard - 1/4 tbsp
6. Urad dhal - 1/2tbsp
7. Curry leaves - 6 to 7
8. Oil - 2 tbsp

Mix rice flour,coconut and salt together. Heat water in a bowl. Add very hot water to the mixture and mix it with a spoon to make a thick dough of chappathi dough consistency. It would actually be softer than that.

Now make very small balls out of this. And bake these rice balls in the idly cooker for 10 to 15 mins. You can either serve and have as it is or heat oil in a pan, add the mustard, urad dhal and curry leaves, leave for a few seconds and add this to the kozhukkai and mix.

They would look lovely to see, and tempting for kids to eat as they look very small, smaller than a grape, so kids would play with it and finish all of them before you turn.

Do give it a try and you will know the magic to make kids eat :)
