Ingredients

  • For the Outer Dough
  • 1 cup rice flour
  • 1 cup fresh mango puree
  • 1 tbsp ghee
  • For the Coconut Stuffing
  • 1 cup freshly grated coconut
  • 2-3 tbsp grated jaggery (for babies above 1 year, adjust to taste) or dates powder for babies above 8 months
  • ¼ tsp cardamom powder
  • 1 tsp ghee

Instructions

  • Heat a pan and add the mango puree. Cook for 2-3 minutes over low heat.
  • Add the ghee and a pinch of salt. Gradually add the rice flour while stirring continuously until it forms a soft dough.
  • Cover the dough and let it rest for 10-15 minutes. Once warm enough to handle, knead it into a smooth, crack-free dough.
  • In another pan, heat the ghee and add the grated coconut. Sauté for a minute.
  • Add the dates powder (or jaggery for children above 1 year) and cardamom powder. Cook until the mixture comes together. Allow it to cool completely.
  • Grease your palms with a little ghee. Take a small portion of the dough and flatten it into a small cup.
  • Place a spoonful of the coconut filling in the center and gently seal the edges to form a smooth ball or traditional kozhukattai shape.
  • Arrange the prepared kozhukattais in a greased steamer plate, leaving a little space between each.
  • Steam for 10-12 minutes or until the kozhukattais turn glossy and are cooked through.
  • Allow them to cool slightly before serving.
