Notes:
  • Always keep the flame in low or medium while making rice flour mixture. It takes 10-15 mins but it is worthy doing it.
  • Make kozhukattai when its still warm. Do not let it open for a long time which will cause the mixture to get dry and ending up in hard kozhukattai. Try to cover with wet clothe until you prepare.
  • You can increase or decrease jaggery as per your sweet level.
