Kozhukattai is a traditional south Indian breakfast. There was a time when I used to say biggggg no to kozhukattai. Whenever my Amma prepares kozhukattai I bug her for alternative tiffen. To make me eat, instead of steaming, she grills it in tawa and I love it. Now things changed, I started experimenting various forms of Kozhukattai like Cracked Wheat Kozhukattai and Aval Pidi Kozhukattai, still this particular preparation is my favorite. Being a Mom is so challenging – now I can understand.
Arisi Kurunai Adai
Preparation Time : 5 mins | Cooking Time : 25 mins | Serves : 3
Recipe Category: Breakfast
Ingredients:
Rice – 1 cup
Scraped Coconut – 1/4 cup
Salt – as needed
Curd – 1 tbsp (Optional)
Water – 2 cups
Oil – for Grilling (I used coconut oil)
For tempering
Coconut oil – 1 tsp
Mustard Seeds – 1/4 tsp
Green Chilli – 1 (Adjust according to your taste)
Urad Dal – 1/2 tsp
Channa Dal – 1/2 tsp
Curry leaves – 1 sprig
Asafoetida – a generous pinch
Method
- Pulse the Rice coarsely in a blender and transfer to a plate
- Add oil to the pan. Once the oil is hot, temper with mustard seeds, urad dal, channa dal, green chilli, curry leaves and asafoetida. After it splutters, add 2 cups of water, coconut and salt. Bring to boil. Once the water starts boiling add curd and pulsed rice
- Stir till all the water is absorbed and kurunai is 3/4 th cooked. Sprinkle some water if required. Switch off the heat
- When you can handle the dough, take small portions and make small balls (if required use water) and flatten it. Add oil to the tawa and grill it both sides. Serve warm with chutney
My Notes:
- I have used rice, instead Aval, oats, cracked wheat or any other grain can also be used
- Can use red chilli instead of green chiili
