About Oats Kara 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.
Oats are one of the healthiest grains on the planet. They're a gluten- free whole grain thats high in vitamins, minerals, fibre, and antioxidants. According to research, oats and oatmeal have numerous health benefits. Weight loss, lower blood sugar levels, and a lower risk of heart disease are among the benefits.
Ingredients for Oats Kara Kozhukattai
Instant Oats :
Instant oatmeal is designed to be more convenient. For faster preparation, they are rolled extra thin and milled finer than quick- cooking rolled oats. Another way instant oats are made for less prep time is that they are pre-cooked.
Mustard Seeds :
They are used as a seasoning rather than a base flavour in many Indian dishes, and they really perk up a lentil or rice dish when fried in a little oil with curry leaves . As a result, mustard seeds are excellent for adding flavour without adding fat to your diet.
Dry Red Chillies :
Red chilies were introduced to India by Portuguese traders from Mexico. India is now the world leader in the cultivation of dry red chilies. Red chilies are more commonly consumed in hotter regions of India, such as Rajasthan, because they help to keep the blood clean and thin.
