Thengai Poorna Kozhukattai (Cocunut Poorna Kozhukatai)
Thengaai Poorna Kozhukattai is a delicious sweet and is favourite for Lord Ganesh. Devotees will offer this for Lord Ganesh on evey Ganesh Chathurti(Vinayaka Chaturti).Preparation Time : 20 mins; Cooking Time : 20 mins; Serving :15
Ingredients for PuranamGrated Coconut 1 Cup Grated Jaggery 1/2 Cup Oil 2 Tablespoon Cardamom Powder 1/4 teaspoon For Ingredients and Method of preparation of Kozhukattai outercover, click here
Method:
Heat a pan, add 1 cup of water and add grated jaggery. 
When the jaggery dissolves completely in water, strain it to remove dust and sand particles. 
Add the strained jaggery juice again in the pan, and keep it in flame. 
When the the jaggery juice starts to boil and become thick, add grated coconut, cardamom powder and stir well continuously till it roll like a ball and does not stick the sides of the pan. 
This is the correct consistency to remove from flame. Take the coconut pooranam in a plate and allow it to cool off 
Make small balls out of the pooranam and keep it in a plate 
Prepare the outer cover of the kozhukattai as mentioned here
Kozhukattai Mavu outcover preperation
Take some oil in a bowl and take little oil in hand and then take little kozhukattai dough ball and press it in middle to make it like a patti as shown in the picture
In the middle of the kozhukattai patti, add thengai pooranam ball. 
Close the sides of kozhukattai mavu gently in all the sides 
Now the pooranam is closed completely by the mavu. Remove the excess mavu from the tip.
Repeat the same for rest of the flour and pooranam
Now the kozhukattai pooranam stuffed is ready for cooking.
In india you get the mould in the shops which make our job easier. If you feel tough to make the outercover, you can use this mould.
Rub the mould with a drop of oil and spread the kozhukattai dough in both the sides of the mould. Make sure that you have taken only the minimum amount of kozhukattai dough. Otherwise the outer cover will become thick and harder.
Place the pooranam ball in one side of the mould and close the mould
The extra dough will pierce out of the mould. Gently remove the kozhukattai cup out of the mould.
Now the kozhukattai-pooranam stuffed cup is ready for cooking.
Repeat the same for rest of the flour and poorana
Grease the idli plates with oil and then place the kozhukattai cups in the idly plates
Pressure cook the kozhukattai in cooker for 5 mins
The yummy thengai poorana kozhukattai is ready to serve and for neivedhyamThe collage below shows the conventional way of cooking the kozhukattai (in the boiling water). But, i would recommend to use the idly plates and cooker for a quick and safe cooking.
Note: If there is excess rice flour mixture, make can make delicious ammini(mini) kozhukattai
