Making of soppu [cup] for kozhukkattai
Vella Kozhakattai
This recipe is prepared on Vinayaka Chathurthi and also on Varalakshmi Vratham days.
[who will refuse to devour the delicacy, if prepared on normal days too.....]
2 cups rice flour
1 tbsp oil
A pinch of salt
For Filling
1 coconut (grated)
1 cup jaggery (powdered)
1 tbsp ghee
Method:
Mix grated coconut, jaggery and ghee in a heavy pan.
Cook on a medium flame, stirring continuously till thick.
Allow to cool. Form small balls and set aside.
Heat 2 cups of water in a pan.
Add salt, oil and flour, then stir continuously till dough leaves the sides of the pan. Allow to cool and knead well.
Take a small ball of dough and with greased palms pat into a disc.
Put some filling in the middle and seal it.

Hints: The same preparation can be made as savoury by keeping paruppu usili as poornam inside the cup of rice dough. And also Ellukozhakkati can be done with the fillings. [one cup each of seasame & jaggery and one table spoon ghee. Roast sesame seeds till pink. Grind to a fine powder along with jaggery. Add ghee and mix well.]
