    About Ellu Kozhukattai Recipe

    Kozhukkattai, also known as kozhukatta, is a popular South Indian dumpling made from rice flour and filled with grated coconut, jaggery, or chakkavaratti. Kozhukattai, while typically sweet, can occasionally be stuffed with a savoury filling. Kerala Christians prepare it on the Saturday before Palm Sunday, hence the name Kozhukatta Saturday. Modak is a similar dish that is prepared in other parts of India. This is a popular dish for the Ganesh Chaturthi festival.

    Ellu means sesame seeds in Tamil, and a sweet filling made of sesame seeds and jaggery is used in the modak/kozhukattai. Sesame seeds can be used in a variety of ways. They can, for example, sprinkle the seeds on top of salads, stir-fries, or soups.
    Toasting sesame seeds makes them crunchier and adds flavour.

    Ingredients for Ellu Kozhukattai Recipe

    Sesame Seeds / Ellu:
    Sesame seeds can be consumed raw or baked or toasted to enhance their natural nutty flavour. They're a popular addition to bagels, burger buns, salads, and breadsticks. They can also be used to dress salads. Tahini, a key component of hummus, is made from ground sesame seeds.

    Jaggery / Sarkarai / Vellam  :
    Depending on its composition, jaggery can taste like fresh cane juice, maple syrup, caramel, or molasses. The unrefined natural sweetener is available in a variety of colours, including light amber, golden brown, and dark brown. Jaggery is known by many different names, including gur in Urdu, gud in Hindi, and vellam in Tamil.

    Cardamom Powder :

    Cardamom Powder is an all-natural spice that can be used to sweeten dishes as well as flavour coffee and tea. It is also used in traditional Indian and Middle Eastern cooking, as well as Scandinavian baking.
