My Notes
- I made bigger sized kozhukattai but I recommend making them a bit smaller.
- Just dry roast for 3-5mins in low flame and switch off when the millet starts to change color.
- I wanted to make the same stuffing as thenga bun so added tutti frutti too.
- I used samai for making this kozhukattai, You can even try with varagu or kuthirai vali.
- Serve hot as millet recipes mostly tend to become dry faster.
