Sweet Pidi Kozhukattai is a very simple and easy recipe. This can be prepared in 15 minutes with minimal ingredients. Kozhukattai is usually prepared during festivals especially Ganesha Chathurthi. We always celebrate Ganesha Chathurthi really well compare to all other festivals. We make our own Eco-Friendly Ganesha which gives more happiness than the one we buy from the shop. Check out our Eco-Friendly Ganesha making video in our youtube channel. Kids do join me every time when I make my own Ganesha.
There are so many dishes which we prepare for Chathurthi like Sundal, Sweet Coconut Kozhukattai, Pidi Kozhukattai, Ammini Kozhukattai, Ven Pongal, Sweet Pongal and so on. We use rice flour to make pidi kozhukattai but nowadays we get kozhukattai flour which is easier to make these recipes.
