Notes

You can also add graded coconut in the last step and mix with kozhukattai
Dry fry Red Chilis, Sesame seeds, Urad Dal and Channa Dal and make a powder out of it. You can add this powder and mix it with Kozhukattai.. It will taste awesome.
If we have Idli podi at home, we can sprinkle a teaspoon of it for additional flavor
