Sweet Modak | Vella Pidi Kozhukattai Recipe

One more Vinayaka Chathurthi recipe Sweet modak/Vella pidi kozhukattai which is made of ground rice, jaggery, and coconut.

Sweet kozhukattai is one of my favorite. I make it a traditional way by grinding the rice. It’s a foolproof recipe which cannot go wrong. Kozhukattai made of store-bought rice flour will become hard. Instead, if you grind rice and make Kozukattai it would be soft for a long time. Mom makes different types of modaks by adding grated coconut / chopped coconut. Both tastes are good. This can be made as an evening snack too.
