Rice flour 1 cup Salt as needed Oil 1 tsp Water as needed Red chili powder 3 tsp Coconut Oil 1 tblsp Mustard seeds 1 tsp Urad dal 1 tsp Curry leaves few Asafoetida 2 pinches Coconut 2 tblsp

Method  :

• In a wide bowl add the rice flour. I used store bought rice flour. You can use idiyappam flour or home made rice flour too.
• I wanted to try out the dough with store bought rice flour.
• It will take less water compared to the idiyappam flour.
• Add salt and 1 tsp oil to the flour.
• Boil the water into rolling boil.
• Add water little by little to the flour and mix well with a spoon.
• Cover this and keep.
• Once it is warm enough to handle, grease your hands with few drops of oil and knead the dough well.
• I just showed that we can make outer cover for modakam using this store bought rice flour.
• Add red chilli powder.
• Knead the dough again so that the chili powder will mix well.
• Make the dough into tiny balls.
• Steam it for 8 minutes.
• In a pan add the coconut oil. Add the mustard seeds, asafoetida and urad dal.
• Once the dal turns golden brown add the steamed ammini kozhukattais.
• Mix well.
• Add the coconut to this now.
• Mix well and switch off the flame.
• Kara ammini kozhukattais are ready to serve.

1. Do not steam the ammini kozhukattais for a long time, else they will turn rubbery and hard.
2. For a variation you can make plain ammini kozhukattais and season it with freshly ground pepper powder to make pepper ammini kozhukattais.
