SPICY, HEALTHY KOZHUKATTAI

INGREDIENTS

Brown rice/Kerala red rice    1 cup
grated coconut        1 cup
Salt     1 tsp

Ingredients For Seasoning
mustard seeds     1 tsp
split udad dal     2 tbsp
red chillies    3-4
curry leaves   few
oil           1 tbsp

Method

1.Soak the rice in water for about 6 hours or overnight

2. Grind the rice in a food processor with no water until smooth. Transfer to a large bowl.

3. Stir in the grated coconut and salt to the ground rice until well combined.

4. Boil water in a heavy-bottom sauce pan, filling it three fourth way through the pan. The water should be enough to immerse the dumplings when dropped in.

5. Make balls (about 1 inch in diameter) of the coconut-rice mixture and drop it into the water once the water begins to boil. You will notice the dumpling once cooked will begin floating on to the top. Once it begins floating allow it to boil for another 3 to 4 minutes until a skewer inserted comes clean.

6. Strain the dumplings from the boiling water and keep aside.

6. Heat oil in another large broad pan on medium heat; add mustard seeds and split udad dal. Add red chillies and curry leaves and stir until the red chillies are well roasted.

7.  Place the cooked dumplings into the above seasoning and sauté for a about 3 to 4 minutes. Remove from heat and serve hot.

Note: You can drink the water in which the dumplings were cooked. It will be a thick mixture and high on energy.
