Method
Wash and carefully drain the samai/little millet
and keep it aside.
Heat oil in a kadai, splutter mustard seeds, add
cumin seeds, channa dal, urad dal and fry until they turn golden brown color.
Add dry red chillies, curry leaves, asafoetida
and fry for about 30 seconds.
Now add 3 cups of water and salt and mix well.
Let it come to rolling boil.
Slowly add samai/little millet and stir well.
Cover and cook the samai until well done. Open
the lid and stir to avoid any burning. [If you feel the samai is not cooked
well at this stage, you can sprinkle some water and cook for some more time]
Once, all the water is absorbed and the samai is
cooked, add the grated coconut to it.
Mix really well for another 30-40 seconds and
switch off the stove.
When it is warm, knead the mixture and start to
make pidi kozhukattai.
Wet your palms and make either golf sized balls
or oval shaped kozhukattai.
Place on a steamer or idly plate and steam cook
for 10 -15 minutes and switch off the stove.
Yes, delicious and super healthy Samai Kara
Kozhukattai is ready to be enjoyed, serve it hot with either kaara chutney or
any Chutney/Thogaiyal variety of your choice.
