Kara Kozhukattai(Spicy kozhukattai)
Kozhukattai are made on special occasions and they are offered to god.This is made specially for God vinayaka(Ganesh) on vinayaka chadhurthi and is offered to thank him for the good new year ahead.Its a very simple snack and can be made in different shapes to impress kids.With a 4 yr old kid its difficult for me to spend more hours in kitchen so I try my best to short my work sometimes.Instead of soaking and doing the long process I opted to make this kozhukattai quick with my idiyappam dough and they taste exactly the same way how its done by soaking rice.It can be eaten as evening snacks too.Try out and you wont be disappointed.
