Chambara Kozhukattai | Roasted Rice Kozhukattai Recipe

Time is flying like anything. I can't believe that 17 days have already passed. I still couldn't believe that i am a mom now. Was in an excited state till now. Being in a very busy schedule. I am finding a little time to look after my blog while my lil bundle of joy is sleeping. I am typing this looking at her rosy  sleeping cheeks. Love her a lot <3

When i was pregnant with my girl, i asked my mom for this recipe. It was like a craving for me. I took pictures of my mom making it for you, because this recipe is our family traditional recipe. I am sure that you must not be aware of this recipe or even heard of it.

Only few people in our place knows this recipe. I am begging you to try this because this kozhukattai is so soft and packet with full of flavours. It just need few ingredients and few basic steps, but the reward is totally worth it.

• Now transfer it to a mixing bowl and cover it with water. Let it soak for 4 hours.
• Now drain it and add it to a blender. Grind it into a rough paste. Dont add water while grinding.
• Make seasoning. Heat oil and crackle all the seasoning ingredients. Let it sizzle for a min. Add this to the rice mixture. 
• Now add in salt and coconut. Mix well.
• Take a small portion and form into small balls.
• Pop them into a steamer and steam it for 10 mins.

It is so healthy at the same time so filling too. We usually have this for breakfast and love it. If you are in a busy schedule, you can roast the rice in bulk and cool it completely before storing it in air tight container.  And you can soak that rice overnight and make kozhukattai in the morning.

I hope you will love it and let me know how it turned out for you.
