Easy Modakam Recipe | Inippu Ellu Kozhukattai | Kozhukattai with sweet stuffing

Today's recipe is Inippu ellu Kozhukattai that is coconut, jaggery and sesame seeds stuffed kozhukattai. Every year for Vinayagar Chathurthi, Mom used to make this kozhukattai. It is my favorite and now Thaara also loves this. For this Vinayagar Chathurthi, I made plain kozhukattai, this sweet kozhukattai, Kondai kadalai sundal  and Besan Ladoo.

What are the ingredients needed?

Rice Flour, 1 1/2 cup

Grated coconut, 1/2 cup

Sesame seeds, 1/2 cup

Grated jaggery, 1/2 cup

Cardamom, 4-5 nos.

Sugar, 1 Tbs

How it is made?

The outer covering

• Mix the rice flour with a pinch of salt and add required hot water and knead them to a dough.( Mom doesnt use any other special process, just mix with water to form dough.I too follow that)

For the stuffing

• Dry roast the sesame seeds. 
• Remove the skin of the cardamom and powder its seeds with a tablespoon of Sugar.
• Mix the sesame seeds, grated jaggery, grated coconut and powdered cardamom. Mix them well till they are fully incorporated.

There are other methods of preparing the dough for the kozhukattai. This method for me is simple and it works just fine.
