Kozhukattai
Kozhukattai is a traditional Indian dumpling made primarily from rice flour. It is often filled with a sweet mixture of grated coconut and jaggery, though savory versions with lentils or spices also exist. This dish is particularly popular in the southern states of India, especially during festivals like Ganesh Chaturthi, where it is offered to the deity Lord Ganesha.
The preparation involves making a dough from rice flour, which is then shaped into small balls or dumplings. These are typically steamed, resulting in a soft and chewy texture. Kozhukattai is not only a delicious snack but also holds cultural significance in various regional celebrations.
