Ingredients
- 1 Cup Parboiled rice We can use Idli rice too
- ½ Cup Grated Coconut
- Salt To Taste
Instructions
- Soak the Parboiled Rice in water for 3 hours. Drain the water and grind it in grinder with little water. When the rice is almost ground, add the grated coconut and salt and then allow the flour to grind it for a while. The batter should be thick and not like idli or dosa batter. Just sprinkle water little by little and grind it to a coarse paste.
- Heat a pan and the coarsely ground rice with coconut paste and in low flame just keep stirring the mixture for couple of minutes. This is just to ensure that we are able to make balls out of the ground mixture. If you have added more water while grinding, don’t pani, just do this step and your batter would become thick quickly. Remove the pan from flame and allow it to cool for a while till you are able to handle the batter in your hand.
- Now take the flour and make a small lemon sized ball out of the batter. Repeat this step and make small balls out of rest of batter
- In a heavy bottomed pan add the water and when the water starts to boil add 5-6 rice balls and let it cook for couple of minutes. After some time carefully stir the balls and let it cook for some more time in water. After 15 mins take one ball and cut it with spoon to check if the kozhukattai is cooked well inside.
- Cook the rest of the balls and then swith off the flame and remove the kozhukattaai
- Serve the delicious Thanni kozhukattai with water in which it is cooked along with piping hot cocunut chutney
Notes
- We can drink the Kanji (the water used to cook the Kozhukattai). It's tasty and nutritious.
- You can also mix little jaggery with Kanji and drink it.

How can we make ball out of wet flour (maavu) It would be sticky. do you grease your palm maami!!
Instead of grinding the parboiled rice, can we use rice flour?
Can we steam this instead of putting in water
We can steam but this whole dumplings are served with the cooked water. The water makes this dumpling so tasty
I have eaten this so many times as a child in my grandma’s house and been searching the recipe, but didn’t know the name of the dish. 🙂 (we call it by a different name at home)
The instructions from my grandma and mum missed one of the steps and I have been left with a slightly runny batter every time. Glad to have found this today 🙂
So glad to know. Thank you so much
Excellent recipe. I was able to recreate the delicious kozhakattais my mother used to make with this recipe.
So so glad to know 😊 Thank you 🙏🙏🙏
