Kaara kozhukattai, also commonly written as kara kozhukattai, is a savoury steamed rice-based snack popular in Tamil Nadu. It is soft on the inside and flavoured with mustard seeds, chana dal, ginger, green chilli, shallots and coriander leaves. This kaara kozhukattai recipe uses Anil Kozhukattai Flour to simplify the preparation. Instead of preparing rice flour from scratch, you can use ready-made kozhukattai flour to prepare the dough and shape the dumplings at home. Serve them warm with coconut chutney for a simple South Indian breakfast or evening snack.
