Javvarisi Kozhukattai is a delightful Indian snack made from soaked sago pearls. To prepare, first rinse the sago thoroughly and soak it with a sprinkle of water for 30 to 45 minutes. Meanwhile, mix grated coconut with sugar and cardamom powder to create a sweet filling. After soaking, knead the sago with salt to form a thick dough, or blend it for easier consistency. Shape small portions of the dough into cups, fill them with the coconut mixture, and seal them into balls. Finally, steam the prepared balls in an idli or kozhukattai plate for about 15 minutes until cooked. Enjoy this sweet treat as a snack or dessert!
The English name for Javvarisi is Sago.
