It’s made of rice flour and milk/ coconut milk and jaggery. This is one of the Ganesha chathurti/vinayagar chathurti recipes. There are many varieties of kozhukattai/kolukattai recipes and this paal kozhukattai is one such recipe. This takes little extra time to make. But it taste delicious you can aslo add sugar to this recipe but jaggery adds more taste.
I used idiyappam flour to make this kolukattai. If your are using plain rice flour then just roast it in the pan and then make these. There are many other ways to prepare paal kozhukatai. I follow this method and this just gives delicious kolukkatais.
Making Kolukattai dough is the main step in this recipe so please refer the step by step pictures. Dough should be soft and smooth. You have to add boling water to the flour. In this method i cooked the rice balls in milk directly. You can also cook this in water and jaggery syrup and finally add milk. Both the ways gives good kolukattai.
