Store bought idiyappam or kozhukattai flour

Use good quality rice flour. If u r planning to make by grinding rice, buy raw rice (in tamil nadu we call as maavu arisi) ie. The rice used for making rice flour. Its of different quality, not the one we use for pongal. It is cheaper in cost too..

step 1

The water quantity i have given above is for store bought idiyappam flour and anil kozhukattai maavu. For home made processed rice flour, water quantity may vary from 1. 5-1. 75 cups.

step 2

Always add the required water while making the dough. If the dough becomes sticky or dry, ull get cracks. Keep the unused dough covered with a wet cloth or a lid while u make modakam.

step 3

Its always better to prepare the outer covering after making pooranams/stuffings to prevent the dough sitting for long time.

step 4

U can refrigerate the unused dough be keeping in an air tight box & use the next day or the same evening.

step 5

Pooranam can be prepared the previous day and refrigerated.

step 6

Apply sesame/gingely oil in ur hands every time when u make the shape.

step 7

Always place the idli plate arranged with kozhukattai after the water in the idli pot starts roll boiling.. This helps for quick cooking & also the kozhukattai remains white in color and crack free..

step 8

Last but not the least, do not cook the kozhukattai in idli pot for long time which may lead to cracks. (maximum of 8-10 mins is enough).

step 9

U can identify the cooked kozhukattai by its shining look.. Always remove the kozhukattai after it becomes warm. Do not remove when it is hot. Kozhukattai may break.
