Ulundhu Kozhukattai | Uppu Kozhukattai | Kara Kozhukattai
Savory variety of Kozhukattai!
Ulundhu Kozhukattai is a savory variety of kozhukattai we make on the auspicious festival day of Ganesha Chaturti. The filling is made with Urad dal along with other spices.
Uppu Kozhukattai is a savory version of the Kozhukattai which we prepare on the auspicious occasion of Vinayakar Chathurti Festival. Many old people like to have spicer version rather than sweets and this would be a perfect substitute for the usual kozhukkatai with divine taste.
The filling for this Kozhukattai is made using Urad dal and spices. The Urad dal is soaked for 30 minutes, then ground coarsely along with green chili and salt. This mixture is further steamed and upon cooling the crumbled mixture is tempered and used as a pooranam to make this Uppu Kozhukattai (Savory Modak)
