How to make Pal Kozhukattai Paal kozhukattai is a traditional sweet made in Tamilnadu, using rice flour, jaggery and coconut milk as main ingredients. We make it by replacing jaggery with sugar too.

Instructions to make Pal kozhukattai (sweet jaggery dumplings):
- Wash and soak rice for 2 hours. Grind it to a fine paste adding little water and a pinch of salt. Rinse the mixie with little water and add to it. Melt jaggery adding 2-3 tbsp of water in low heat. Once it melts, switch off the flame and filter it to remove any impurities.
- Take a kadhai or pan (preferably non-stick) pour the batter, melted ghee and switch on the flame. In medium heat, keep stirring the rice batter continuously to prevent the formation of lumps until it starts to leave the sides of the pan. Switch off the flame.
- When it is warm, grease your hands with a little ghee and knead it to a soft pliable dough. (keep the dough covered with a damp cloth to prevent it from drying. The dough will not stick to your hands if it is cooked well.
- Make small balls out of it and keep it ready. (that’s a close-up shot of the ball, so it appears big).If the ball is big, they will take more time to get cooked and they will taste bland in the dish. So make small sized balls.
- Boil 1 cup of thin coconut milk, when it starts boiling, reduce the flame and add the balls gently. The balls should be immersed in the thin coconut milk. If not, add more thin coconut milk. Do not stir it for the first few minutes. Then stir gently and cook in medium-low flame for 5-6 minutes or until done. (the balls will change color and start coming to the surface when they are cook. You can even taste the rice ball and check if they are cooked)
- Now add the thick jaggery water, cardamom powder, edible camphor and cook for a few more minutes until it becomes slightly thick and saucy.
In my in-law's place, we do pooja on Naga panchami- Garuda panchami nombu during the aadi month. We make this paal kozhukaati and do neivedhyam to God. modhagams, Kaara Kozhukattai, sweet kozhukattai etc. Paal Kozhukattai is one among them, which is nothing but small rice dumplings cooked in coconut milk along with either jaggery or white sugar. I always prefer to make it with jaggery/vellam as it is healthier than the white sugar. Keep other ingredients required ready - powder jaggery, elachi and keep cashew nuts ready, grate coconut etc.
