How to Make Ellu kozhukattai

• Make plum-sized balls out of the mix, and keep aside.
• Mix rice flour, salt and oil in a bowl and make a soft dough adding water little by little.
• Take a small lemon size ball from the dough, flatten it on your palm and place a jaggery ball in the middle and cover the edges.
• Boil 1/2 litre of water, adding 1/2 tsp of sesame oil to it.
• Gently drop each ball into the boiling water.
• Boil for 5 minutes and cook for another 5 minutes till the cooked kozhukattais start floating up.
• Remove the kozhukattais gently using a perforated ladle and drain them.
