Hi Sunshinemom

Thank you for taking time and writing. Yes. Ullundhu Pooranam is a speciality. I tasted the same. However, I have not cooked it myself. I need a perfect Ulundhu pooram recipe. If you have, can you please let me know, so that I will try the same too.

Hi Anu, Thank you for your comments. With practice, we can make perfect kozhukattai by hand also. However to get the designer shape, mould is the best option. Moulds are available in different shapes and different materials in all the Paathra Kadai.

Thanks

Hi Shanti, Reason for kozhukattai become dry may be due to the rice dough is hard or it is not fried well. Steaming for five to ten minutes is enough since the rice flour is already fried and pooram also pre-cooked. If the rice dough is soft and pliable, you can easily make nice rice cups. Just keep the poornam inside and gather all the sides to the center and gently press it to get the modakam shape. Now Modakam mould is available in the market. Using the mould we get uniform and perfect modaks.

Dear Kamala aunty, I love your recipes always simple and the photos make it look very apetizing.
I tried modakam. It did not look steamed in 8 mins so i kept for few more mins, then it turned out dry. How could I make it just right. How do u get the perfect shapes?

Love. Shanti.

Hi Anu, It depends on the quality of the rice flour. Boil 2 cups of water for one cup rice flour and slowly add just enough water and mix it. If you find the douch is firm. Then stop pouring more water. Normally, one cup rice flour absorbs rwo cups water.

hi kamala, thanks for the vinayaga chathurthi special. I have a doubt, for making the kolukattai , do we need to use exactly 2 cups of boiling water for 1 cup of rice powder - i mean will the dough be firm enough

Thanks
Anu
