Ingredients

  • 1 cup barnyard millet/kuthiraivali arisi
  • 3/4 cup water
  • Salt
  • 1 teaspoon oil
  • For tempering:
  • 1 teaspoon black gram/urad dal
  • 1 teaspoon gram dal/channa dal
  • 1/2 teaspoon mustard seeds
  • 1/4 teaspoon asafoetida
  • 10-12 curry leaves
  • 2 green chillies
  • 1 dried red chilli
  • 2 teaspoons oil
  • Shredded or finely chopped coconut for topping

Instructions

  • Wash,drain and thoroughly dry the kuthiraivali arisi.
  • Grind to a fine powder and set aside
  • Boil water along with salt,and once it starts to bubble add oil to it.Remove from flame
  • Add the boiled water to the ground millet and mix well with a spoon.Once it is warm to touch,knead to a soft and smooth dough.
  • Make small pebble like balls from the dough and arrange in a steamer.
  • Steam for 0-12 minutes,the balls will be non sticky and glossy.
  • Heat oil in a kadai and temper with mustard,urad,channa dal,asafoetida,curry leaves.
  • Add the tempering to the steamed balls and mix well
  • Add chopped coconut,mix well and serve hot

Notes

1.It is important to make the dough smooth and it should not be very tight.If the dough is very tight,the steamed balls will be hard.
2.Usually we add finely chopped coconut for ammini kozhukattai,you can also add grated coconut
3.You can sift the dough after grinding just like we do for rice flour,but I did not sift and there was no difference felt.
