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.

Ingredients for Upma Kozhukattai Recipe
Rice Rava / Arisi Rava / Broken Rice :
Rice rava is simply coarsely ground rice or rice semolina. Because rice semolina is gluten free, it is beneficial to those who are gluten intolerant. It contains a lot of carbohydrates and thus a lot of energy. Rice semolina increases your intake of B-complex vitamins, particularly folate and thiamine.
Urad dal :
When cooked, urad has an earthy flavour and an unusual mucousy texture.
Dry Red Chilli :
Dry red chilli is a condiment that enhances the flavour and colour of food. It contains medicinal and homoeopathic properties. We provide red chillies that are uniform in shape and size. It is mostly used to season foods. The chillies have a strong flavour.
