About Ragi Milk Peda Kozhukattai

Peda, also known as Pera, is a sweet dish from the Indian subcontinent. Its origins can be traced back to Mathura, Uttar Pradesh, India. It is typically prepared in thick, semi-soft pieces and contains khoa, sugar, and traditional flavourings such as cardamom
seeds, pistachio nuts, and saffron. It ranges in colour from creamy white to caramel. The term peda can also refer to a sphere of any doughy substance, such as flour or khoa. The dessert has several spellings and names, including pedha, penda (in Gujarati), and pera.

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.

Ingredients for Ragi Milk Peda Kozhukattai Recipe

Rice Flour / Arisi Mavu - ½ cup
Ragi Flour / Finger Millet Flour - ½ cup
Salt a pinch
Ghee - 1 tbsp
Sweet Khoya / Paal Kova - 1 cup
Water - 1.5 cup
Oil as needed

Rice Flour / Arisi Mavu:

Rice flour is a type of flour that is made from finely ground rice. It differs from rice starch, which is typically made by steeping rice in lye. Rice flour is a popular wheat flour substitute.

Ragi Flour / Finger Millet Flour :

Ragi consumption on a regular basis can help lower your risk of diabetes. This is due to the presence of polyphenols and dietary fibres in ragi. When compared to other whole wheat grains, ragi has a high fibre content. Consuming ragi on a regular basis lowers and stabilises your blood sugar levels.

Ghee :

Ghee tends to be one of those hyperbole-inducing foods, like macarons and gelato, that people describe quite dramatically as being heavenly or the best thing ever. In actuality, ghee tastes like a cleaner, richer, more decadent version of butter itself.
