I love Kozhukattai, i make it quite often too. Among those this has become my latest favorite. I love to have it with spicy tomato chutney or coconut chutney
These kozhukattai are soft and perfect as breakfast or as snacks. I added some carrots in this, you can add any vegetable as you wish like beans, cabbage, capsicum..Love it to the core. So try this out and let me know how it turns out..
