Gingelly Seed (ellu) Kozukottai By Chandri Bhat Ingredients White gingelly seeds - ½ cup Jaggery powder - ½ cup Cardamom powder - ¼ cup Method Roast the gingelly seeds till they begin to pop. Cool and powder in the mixer. Add jaggery powder and cardamom powder and run the mixer for few seconds till the mixture is well combined. For Covering Sift the rice flour to ensure that there are no lumps. Boil 4 cups of water with 1 tsp salt and 2 tsps of oil (preferably gingelly oil) remove from fire, add 2 cups of flour, stirring the mixture well with a wooden stick or the handle of a wooden spoon or churner, to make a smooth lump. Continue to add more rice flour ½ cup at a time and mix till you have a smooth, soft ball which is not sticky. To test, cool a small lump and see if it can be flattened easily on the palm into a pliable thin disc. If it is sticky, ad more flour. Cover the dough with a wet cloth to prevent it from drying while you prepare the filling. Traditionally the rice flour for the covering of kozukottai is prepared by washing the rice, drying it in shade 3 and pounding it or powdering it in electric mixer. But now good quality rice flour is available in super markets and is convenient to use. If the covering dough is prepared correctly making the kozukottai varieties is easy.
