- Let the mixture cool down for few mins...then shape them as shown below.Meanwhile grease the idli plates and keep it ready.After shaping all your kozhukattais ready carefulyl transfer them to idli plates and steam it for 5mins.
My Notes:
- You can use coconut oil for tempering which gives a great flavour.
- If you prefer you can add onion too.
- There should be little moisture in the mixture only then shaping will be easy and it will hold together.
