You can make this as a after school snack or put in your kids lunch box of snacks box.

    About Vendaya Kozhukattai

    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.

    The dish is made by combining grated coconut with jaggery syrup, stuffing it into rice flour dumplings, and steaming the dumplings. To improve the taste and flavour of the filling, add ghee, cardamom, finely ground roasted rice flour, and so on. A variant of kozhukattai made with atta flour (rather than rice flour) and grated coconut is a
    staple breakfast among some groups in Kerala. Fenugreek seeds are a common ingredient in Indian cuisine, with a sweet, nutty flavour reminiscent of maple syrup and burnt sugar. When eaten raw, it can be extremely bitter, but when cooked and
    combined with aromatics and spices, it transforms and adds sweetness and depth of flavour to saucy dishes.
